EcoFORESTRY Grows
RESTORING
NATIVE HABITATS In TL-CC ECOZONES?
How can we EcoForesters working together restore
native forest habitats?
We need to agree on how we can do it in natural
design process of learning what varieties were living there before
Total-logging Clear cut destruction? Then we can set our goals for
seeding & planting whatever will grow there over next seasons, years &
decades, even centuries in old growth forest. Some test plots of TL-CC
ecozones have been done, but we need to learn the whole process for survey,
agreeing on design plan, setting up camps for planting & stewardship
surveys as often as we agree on tracking whatÕs grow in cycles.
Whose taking responsibility for how restoration
works for years needs some reliable agreements we can trust the integrity of
our plans, planters, owners & stewards will be conscious & respect the
forest needs for growing healthy habitats to support many or all varieties
threatened, killed or chased away from logging there. What we intend to
return, support & observe levels of animal, watershed, soil fertility,
plant life, fungus, growing thru seasons cycles.
These phases of restoring native forest with
clear plans can be worked out with certain agreements on goals, methods,
feedback, responsibility & quality control & protecting the native
growth. We need to meet as agreed to study, report, discuss & agree
on current growing patterns for furthering our goals toward increasing
fertility in forest zone we choose to restore it native habitat will vary with
the weather cycles, as this accelerating native plant guilds to enhance their
growth together inviting animals to return for growing families.
Sample agreements possible for stewardship
teams for restoring whole forests
1.
Surveying the TL-CC ecozone for possible needs for replanting, seeding,
etc
2. Observe the local watershed there for
seasonal supplies for plants growing.
3. Making a EF* design map for planting
what we agree on in schedule for best growth
4. Who takes responsibility for fulfilling
the design goals with agreeable plans?
5. How will committed stewards survey
& report the planted & wild growth on site.
6. Will there be private land tours for
interested EcoForestry students/ teachers, to learn how the whole forest
restoring programs works to do it else- where.
7. What about any toxic chemicals left on
site from before Restoring begins?
8. How will the forest land be protected
from campers, hunters, seekers, etc.
