Growing Trees for Farms, Parks and Roadsides
A Revegetation Manual.
Since European settlement widespread and indiscriminate clearing of land and drainage of wetlands has meant erosion, soil salinity, creek and river sedimentation, dieback...and wvithal land degradation and a loss of productivity.
This handbook is an answer to the now widely recognised need for trees to be replaced on a broad scale.
GROWING TREES FOR FARMS, PARKS AND ROADSIDES aims to promote tree planting by providing practical advice on a wide range of techniques. Trees have been traditionally established by planting seedlings, but direct seeding and natural regeneration can be
cost-effective alternatives. All three methods are discussed and compared, with case studies to illustrate the most appropriate method for particular situations.
The book describes step by step all tages of a revegetation project:
- planning (including a calendar of activities)
- selecting species
- collecting' seed
- preparing the site
- after care
