Chapter 1:  An Introduction to Revegetation

Why Revegetate an Area?

Special Revegetation Techniques

Special or alternative techniques for revegetation, as defined in this manual, use materials other than seed to provide a vegetative cover.  Usually, these techniques rely on vegetative cuttings, sprigs, or transplanting procedures.

These alternatives should be carefully assessed prior to implementation.  Costs can be considerably higher than seeding.  However, in certain circumstances, these alternatives will provide the best results.
