REFORESTING THE WILDERNESS

  RESTORING ECOFORESTRY

For diverse Integrated Multi varieties

   in Cooperative Food-Web Habitats

 

Are there any Ecoforestry native Forest restoration projects now happening or have worked in similar programs in bioregions we can learn from & use their methods, benefiting our aims.

          How can we restore natural habitats that took decades to centuries to grow ancient old grow forests? Since we wonÕt see big tree results of it in under 50 years, how can we know what to plant in TL-CC Totally Logged Clear-Cut forest?   8 complex steps & dimensions of reforesting.  

              

Whatever we learn in the following Reforesting process for sustainable diverse healthy forests can help us & others sharing goals, methods, systems & agreements essential for efficient work with cooperative teams.  Can we train our team leaders to train others in EcoForestry Restoration projects that apply to varied ecozones in habitats of:  temperate, tropical,  sub-tropical, cold & aired bioregions at varied elevations, soil types & with different climax species.

                          

PIONEER   REFORESTING   PROJECT

 

1. Choosing a forest habitat with accessible TL-CC eco-zone we can study for restoring,  planting soon now & later, as varieties will integrate after ground cover is established. 

 

2.  Studying a near-by or similar healthy fully grown diverse native forest habitat to learn what varieties grow in combinations thru seasons cycles,  so we can aim & plan to copy the succession of native plants that will renew the watershed & attract animals that left or died from TL-CC = mini extinction, fire, drout, etc.

 

3. What goals for reviving the native soil fertility & watershed  purity flowing thru?  Can we add Fertea, Azomite clay,  manuer, kelp, or rock dust if needed for reviving soil?

4. What poisons were sprayed on the TL-CC lands we aim at reforesting? & how can we neutralize them for fertile soil & ground-cover supporting further healthy growth?

 

5. What native grasses can we seed there first with broadcasting & seed balls?  Then plant seedlings of native varieties that will grow in fertile soil they need?

 

6. Assembling a planting team* for cooperating on the site in responsible work roles, even training them how to space, fertilize, plant & respect the habitats & report accurate data of their work & findings.

 

7. How can we monitor the growth of fast & slow growing plants & learn what animals have returned there, from evidence of their presence? What do we expect, plan, aim for & support returning to native habitats?

 

8. Recording the progress in key places & seasons cycles timing for results?

 

* Reforesting teams of experienced tree planters will want to learn & do the diverse long range study &or planting, restoring native habitats for future generations?
