For the thirteenth episode of Restoration Roundup we took a look at some of the active research being done in forest restoration. We spoke to three students from UVM’s graduate student program: Master’s students Kate Longfield and Stever Bartlett and PhD candidate Stephen Peters-Collaer. Working with the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources and their mentors and advisors, these students are researching topics that will be coming into the field in the coming years.
From Kate’s work at the intersection of independent and governmental management of buffers to Stever and Stephen’s work on managing and analyzing different types of sites, we had a broad spectrum of topics to cover. How do landowners make choices about land management? How can practitioners most effectively prepare their plantings for success against invasive species and later-stage resource use? For now, we can only see the preliminary results, but these studies and the resources they produce will be valuable tools in riparian restoration.
Join our roundtable discussion with upcoming practitioners and get the scoop on research methodology and the rising questions being investigated in academia before being brought to general use in the field.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
