Abstract
Restoration design can be a challenging, iterative process requiring the individual to satisfy the project requirements (goals and objectives) while balancing the scope, schedule, and cost constraints of the project. Design is the plan or intention of an action or object prior to its actually being built or executed. We consider any conscious decision to make modifications (e.g., species introduction, reestablishment of fire) as an act of design.
