Abstract

I have often noted that restoration practitioners are very particular about most details regarding restoration or revegetation, such as what species they are focusing on, densities of planting or seeding, seed provenance and site preparation. However, even with this attention to detail, the planting season is often still stressful and things get done 'on the fly' and at the last minute.

However, there are many activities one can accomplish prior to the beginning of planting season to ensure that the whole process runs more smoothly. To assist with this, I use a simple Gantt chart showing the revegetation project schedule.
