Hello, I am a senior in High School, and I would appreciate if anyone could reach out to me if they know of a university who offers majors or fields in restoration ecology. I am searching for a field in which I can help combat climate change, and I am interested in being a restoration ecologist.
College of the Atlantic.
Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks
UC Davis: https://www.ucdavis.edu/majors/ecological-management-and-restoration/
Colorado State: https://catalog.colostate.edu/general-catalog/colleges/natural-resources/forest-rangeland-stewardship/restoration-ecology-major/
Many Environmental Science and Management programs will have specialized tracks or options for Restoration Ecology. Doing a search for these programs will yield you more options.

There are a lot of universities that have very good programs in Environmental Sciences (which is not the same thing as Environmental Studies). I am wondering if this is likely to be close enough for a bachelor’s degree. For one thing having a fairly broad understanding of the related science seems like a good idea.
Can you tell us more about what you would like in a college or university? Also, your stats (particularly unweighted GPA) and budget and home state would be useful to know.
Take a look at the majors at SUNY ESF:

I can’t say for sure what their exact programs are, but besides the good suggestions you’ve already received, check out Juniata (in PA) and Eckerd (in FL). Both are well known for Environmental Sciences.
