Abstract
We consider potential impacts of global climate change for restoration practitioners in Wisconsin through a discussion of restoration and land management at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum. Created to provide an outdoor research and teaching laboratory for university faculty, staff, and students, the Arboretum has been restoring and managing dynamic examples of the native plant communities of Wisconsin for 75 years. We discuss how climate change might influence historical restoration goals, as well as contemporary issues such as stormwater, extreme precipitation events, and changes in the effectiveness of restoration techniques.
