    Assisted Natural Regeneration Practitioner Training Course 2026

    This free eight-week online course starts on 1 July 2026 and is developed for ecosystem restoration practitioners. It focuses on Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) approaches, benefits and constraints. The course covers essential steps of planning, implementation and monitoring ANR, offering a solid foundation for achieving broad socio-economic and environmental outcomes through practices designed to enhance natural regeneration across ecosystems and landscapes.

Communities of Practice

The Community of Practice brings together people working on restoration to share knowledge, ask questions, and find solutions. It’s a space to learn from real experiences, exchange tools and ideas, and collaborate across projects and regions. Together, members help improve the way restoration is planned, implemented, and measured.

ERIP’s Communities of Practice are launching soon. Stay connected to be part of the conversations.
