Choose the right site and species
Restoration objective, soil, climate, local uses and seedling availability guide the species mix.
Plan maintenance
Weeding, replacement and protection against fire, grazing or harvesting should be budgeted over time.
Monitor survival and growth
Plots, GPS points, repeat photos and inventories distinguish activities performed from restoration actually achieved.
Engage communities
Local uses, rights and benefits are project-sustainability parameters, not only communication topics.
