About

Golden Hour Restoration Institute is a gateway for experiencing and learning about nature in a sustainable, educational, and fostering manner. Our mission is to provide engaging, science-based instruction and project leadership in order to conserve and restore native species and habitats. Our strategy is to bring small groups of people, classes, into the outdoors and allow them to experience the spirit of the outdoors through service-based learning.
Our organization embraces the principle of “education through action”. Our projects educate people about the science and art of the rapidly evolving field of restoration ecology. Each course focuses on the principles and theories behind renewing our natural landscapes, complemented by engaging in the physical act of carrying out the restoration work. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of motivated individuals looking to share our vision with students, professionals, outdoor types, and conservationists alike. Our courses are catered for a wide variety of audiences, including local high schools, universities, and interested volunteer groups. Field-based courses focus on professional training by practitioners, researchers, and conservationists. Please join us in becoming knowledgeable stewards of our landscape.

Please help Golden Hour provide low cost programs with a tax-deductible donation.
