This study examines the dynamics of public participation in ecological restoration, focusing on interactions between professional practitioners and volunteers across two types of organizations, university arboreta and municipal parks, in Madison, Wisconsin and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Whereas ecological restoration has been acclaimed as a democratic participatory practice, this study illustrates that different interpretations of nature, science, and public participation complicate relationships between professional practitioners and volunteers. By tracing the historical development of ecological restoration, this study finds that scientific studies and approaches have increasingly dominated the field. Increased delineation of boundaries between restoration ecology as a science and ecological restoration as a scientifically- and socially-informed set of practices has made it more difficult to integrate the science and the practice in ecological restoration.

520 $a This study examines the dynamics of public participation in ecological restoration, focusing on interactions between professional practitioners and volunteers across two types of organizations, university arboreta and municipal parks, in Madison, Wisconsin and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Whereas ecological restoration has been acclaimed as a democratic participatory practice, this study illustrates that different interpretations of nature, science, and public participation complicate relationships between professional practitioners and volunteers. By tracing the historical development of ecological restoration, this study finds that scientific studies and approaches have increasingly dominated the field. Increased delineation of boundaries between restoration ecology as a science and ecological restoration as a scientifically- and socially-informed set of practices has made it more difficult to integrate the science and the practice in ecological restoration.
520 $a Influenced by the institutional identity as research facilities, professional practitioners at the university arboreta frame ecological restoration as scientific exploration of ecological processes and regard the arboreta as places for advancing the science of restoration. By contrast, volunteers emphasize the practical aspect of restoration, regard their participation as contributing to the environment, and enjoy taking stewardship roles. While some long-term volunteers desire to have more responsibilities, scientific authority and research prerogatives constrain space for genuine collaboration between professional practitioners and volunteers. Other tensions concerning priority, authority, and ownership further contribute to distrust and discontent between the two groups. At the municipal parks, restoration programs emphasize establishing relationships with the broader community, allow more opportunities for volunteers to get involved, and provide capacity-building and leadership training. As a result, there are better supportive relationships between professional practitioners and volunteers at the parks. However, by emphasizing community involvement and social preferences, the ecological foundation of the parks' restoration projects is less rigorous compared to projects conducted at the university arboreta.
520 $a Adopting theoretical perspectives from political ecology and science and technology studies, this study demonstrates the need to address institutional identity, power relationships, social heterogeneity, and eco-geographical contexts in studies of public participation and volunteering. Examples of semi-expert volunteers as citizen scientists present opportunities for more fruitful engagement between professional practitioners and the public.
