Precision Restoration: A Necessary Approach to Foster Forest Recovery in the 21st Century

Forest restoration programs are often based on the sowing or plantation of large amounts of propagules but with little care of the plants. As a result, high rates of mortality or damage to the plants (e.g. by herbivores) are common, translating into a loss of time and resources. We advocate that restoration in general, and forest restoration in particular, should consider a precision approach that maximizes its efficiency, trying to ensure that planted seedlings or sowed seeds will become adult trees with the appropriate landscape configuration to create functional and self-regulating forest ecosystems. Precision Forest Restoration should take advantage of ecological knowledge, technologies and methodologies from the landscape scale to the individual-plant scale, and from the more traditional, low-tech approaches to the latest high-tech ones to ensure the survival of the revegetated plants. Precision Forest Restoration may be more expensive at the level of individual plants, but will be more cost-effective in the long-term if it allows for the creation of resilient forests able to provide multiple ecosystem services.

SER-EC Webinar: The Nashwaak Greenway Project

Project Coordinator, Natalie Deseta presents on the Nashwaak Watershed Association’s (NWAI) community-based approach to leave room for the river and restore and conserve native floodplain forested wetlands in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The Nashwaak Greenway Project aims to increase community resilience in a changing climate – by increasing landscape connectivity, mitigating local overland flooding, providing critical habitat for native aquatic and terrestrial species, and connecting people with nature through provision of recreational green space that they are helping to restore and steward.
