"Implementing best management practices in restoration nurseries are a key component to prevent the introduction of devastating pathogens into native ecosystems. In this talk we will discuss the principles of the Accreditation to Improve Restoration (AIR) program, initiated as means to guarantee the production of healthy and pathogen free native nursery stock for restoration purposes. Dr. Johanna Del Castillo is an Assistant Professor of Cooperative Extension, specialized in greenhouse and nursery crops, in the Department of Plant Pathology at UC Davis"

Best management practices in restoration nurseries reduce the risk of introducing devastating pathogens into native ecosystems. Accreditation to Improve Restoration (AIR) establishes standards and verification steps to guarantee production of healthy, pathogen free native nursery stock. Key elements include strict sanitation, vetted plant sourcing, standardized propagation protocols, routine monitoring and diagnostic testing, rigorous record-keeping, and staff training in biosecurity. Formal accreditation provides measurable assurance to restoration projects and land managers, supports long-term ecosystem resilience, and minimizes spread of invasive pathogens. The program is implemented through nursery assessments, certification procedures, and ongoing compliance checks.
