Designing, installing, and managing native plantings
Ecological restorations of small sites often rely primarily on installing plants to establish the desired natural vegetation. This course presents the successful steps for designing, installing, and managing a native species planting project.
Topics
- Evaluate whether there are sources of plants on the site or in the landscape that could contribute to revegetation
- Determine which species will be best suited for a restoration planting
- Select and acquire the optimal kinds of planting stock for site conditions and project goals
- Develop a planting plan
- Prepare a site to be planted
- Installing large numbers of plants on a site as part of planned events
- Manage sites following planting to promote vegetation establishment
It is strongly recommended, but not required, that students complete the Site Assessment for Ecological Restoration course before taking the other courses in the series, as the Site Assessment course lays the groundwork for the subsequent courses.
