maintenance

Tranen recommend that revegetation projects be regularly maintained during the establishment years following installation. This ensures that the best possible outcomes are achieved, and that the project will be a success in the short term and self-sustaining in the longer term.

Requirements for maintenance are usually predicated on the results of monitoring and may include:
• follow up weed control;
• infill planting and direct seeding to increase plant densities and diversity;
• rubbish removal;
• erosion management;
• pest control;
• repair of damage caused by humans, animals or natural events, such as storms;
• repair or removal of tree guards; and
• pruning.

It is very important that these things are done to maximise the long-term value of the funds spent on the initial revegetation work and ensure that any completion criteria set by local government or other authorities are achieved.

Tranen prefers to work on projects where it has full responsibility for revegetation projects from inception through to project completion.
