Objective
The main aim of this course is to provide postgraduate students with theoretical and technical training in the ecological processes involved in the environmental diagnosis of production units and in identifying and defining the most appropriate forest restoration methods and techniques, both within the context of the rural property and the landscape in which the property is located. The training focuses on the preparation and execution of restoration projects within natural or production units, taking into account the zoning stage of the respective production unit, identifying the different situations of degradation, the characteristics of the degradation in terms of type, intensity and time, and the characteristics of the surrounding landscape; the floristic and degradation characterization stage of the natural remnants, the methodological and technical definition stage for the restoration of each of the zoning units, taking into account the particularities of each unit and based on forest ecology theories, the implementation and sizing of native species nurseries for restoration, the marking of tree species matrices in the natural remnants for seed collection and the production of educational material for environmental education activities, such as species trails, landscape trails, training trails, etc. ; the stage of establishing priorities and the timetable and finally the stage of building indicators.

Content
1° Part-environmental zoning detailed d and a natural unit (watershed) or production, using aerial images (aerial photographs); 2° Part-Checking zoning field produced, with posterior correction; 3° Part-floristic and the State of remaining natural degradation, in order to subsidize the choice of species for use in restoration; 4° Part-presentation and discussion of the ecological processes involved in forest dynamics, such as processes and embasadores concepts and methodologies of forest restoration actions; 5° Part-restoration methodologies Definition more relevant to each unit of zoning, based on the potential for self-healing of these units, this potential identified, characterized and quantified in the field, and dependent, so the characteristics of current and past use and occupation and the characteristics of the surroundings of each unit. 6° Part-embasadores Concepts of methodological and practical definition. 7° Part-Scaling for deployment of the forest nursery seedling production that should be used in the restoration; 8° Part-preparation of textbooks describing elements of nature (species, trails, landscapes of formations, types of degradation, etc.), 9° Part-basis for the prioritization of areas of restoration on work unit and for the preparation of schedule for restoration and 10° Part-construction of evaluation indicators and monitoring of the restored areas.
