Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP)

CERP Certification is a professional credential offered by the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) that recognizes individuals who have demonstrated expertise in the practice of ecological restoration. Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioners are trained in restoring degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems through techniques such as reforestation, wetland restoration, and invasive species management. This certification ensures that professionals can design and implement restoration projects that enhance biodiversity, improve ecosystem services, and contribute to environmental sustainability. For clients, hiring a CERP-certified professional ensures that their project will be managed by an expert committed to restoring and conserving natural habitats in an effective and scientifically sound manner.
