HOW REFORESTING LAND WORKS

Reforestation is the process of replanting trees to land that has been damaged, either through natural events such as floods, fires, or droughts or through unnatural events such as logging, agricultural clearing, or development. 

Reforestation plays a significant role in the ecological restoration of rainforests.

Reforestation: A Journey From Seed To Forest

A reforestation project can take many years to complete. Planning, seed collection and propagating, growing, nurturing, and hardening plants, and land preparation all happen before a single tree is planted.

And the work doesn’t stop there. Once a reforestation project is underway there are years of weed management, watering and drought monitoring and management, canopy growth monitoring and so much more that goes on

Our restoration projects plant a diverse range of up to 100 varieties of trees to ensure the biodiversity of the region is restored. In the large restoration projects these trees will be planted in patches of islands from local rainforest trees hand raised in our nurseries. These island plantings provide a natural spread of a large variety of trees throughout the property being restored.

Reforestation is a labour of love that requires patience and dedication. It's not a quick fix – it can take many years for a newly planted trees to mature and flourish. But with careful planning and hard work, we can restore and protect our precious forests for generations to come.
