Planning a Revegetation Project for your site
If only it was as easy as sticking some plants in the ground and watching them grow effortlessly. However, successful revegetation and habitat creation require careful planning, knowledge, and implementation of various techniques. We will teach you the essentials, from selecting the right plant species to understanding soil conditions and managing ongoing maintenance, to ensure your projects thrive and contribute positively to the environment.
