Looking for the title of a short story and the anthology it appeared in.
The one story it contained had a girl named Willow(?) on a generation ship and she was training to be a restorer (someone who terraforms and ecologically restores planets).
One of her friends' got in trouble for creating bumblebees and part of her project had unicorns in it because the unicorns created balance in the environment.

There’s a possibility that this short story might be in more than one anthology. Are you looking for the story, or the anthology? If the latter, can you remember anything about the other stories therein?

This is "Stranded" (2012) by Anne Bishop.
The Restorers travel the universe fulfilling a purpose handed down
through the generations. They live and die aboard city-ships, never
knowing the worlds they create and save. What begins as a disastrous
training exercise in creating and balancing ecosystems becomes an
unexpected fight for survival. The only hope may be the secret project
of an untried Restorer team.
Official Blurb
Willow lives on city-ship that travels around the galaxy. The crew's
mission (which carries quasi-religious overtones) is the restoration
of devastated worlds (sort of like playing SimPlanet). Although she is
merely a student, Willow mysteriously becomes responsible for
restoring an entire island. Apart from an unfortunate bit of silliness
involving unicorns, the story becomes interesting when it focuses on
the restoration work, the careful balancing of plants and birds and
bees, predators and prey.
