Dr. Elise Gornish is an early career leader in the fields of arid land restoration and weed management and has published over 60 papers. Recently, she just self-published “A Kids Guide to Ecological Restoration,” what she believes is the first children’s book on ecological restoration. Gornish is a Cooperative Extension Specialist in Ecological Restoration at the University of Arizona. The Gornish Lab focuses on developing practical strategies for effective restoration of dry land systems in the Southwest. She is also passionate about STEM inclusion and in 2018 become the Director of UA GALS (Girls on outdoor Adventure for Leadership and Science).
