Teaching, collaboration, and extension are crucial pillars to the Accreditation to Improve Restoration program. While nursery accreditation visits and audits are a large part of the program, our work does not end there. In support of our shared goal of increasing awareness of Phytophthora in the nursery and protecting our native habitats, our team members work with nurseries and communities to share information and recommendations while learning about the unique conditions of our diverse nursery landscape.
