Revegetation & Rehabilitation

Revegetation

Revegetation is the process of replanting and rebuilding the soil of disturbed land.

This may be a natural process produced by plant colonization and succession, man-made rewilding projects, accelerated process designed to repair damage to a landscape due to wildfire, mining, flood, or other cause. Originally the process was simply one of applying seed and fertilizer to disturbed lands, usually grasses or clover. The fibrous root network of grasses is useful for short-term erosion control, particularly on sloping ground. Establishing long-term plant communities requires forethought as to appropriate species for the climate, size of stock required, and impact of replanted vegetation on local fauna.  The motivations behind revegetation are diverse, answering needs that are both technical and aesthetic, but it is usually erosion prevention that is the primary reason. Revegetation helps prevent soil erosion, enhances the ability of the soil to absorb more water in significant rain events, and in conjunction reduces turbidity dramatically in adjoining bodies of water. Revegetation also aids protection of engineered grades and other earthworks

Urban Tree Planting and Native Tree Planting Services

Our tree planting services can add green life to urban areas, as well as aid in preserving and restoring native habitats. We’ve experience in tree planting for both landscaping and land reclamation purposes, so, rest assured, the service we provide will be both knowledgeable and highly experienced.

Bushland regeneration

• Bush regeneration is the practice of restoring natural area bushland in areas where there is native plant resilience, which together with time and intervention such as weed control, will encourage the natural regeneration of local indigenous species. Supagreen Environmental specialises in implementing small and large scale bush regeneration and environmentally sympathetic weed control works to protect, rehabilitate and enhance an area’s native plant population.
• Bush regeneration projects Supagreen Environmental undertakes include heavy primary weeding work with a range of petrol-driven power hand tools, such as chainsaws, brush-cutters and hedge-trimmers; integrated follow-up and maintenance weeding, including fine hand-weeding; herbaceous weed wick-wiping, and non-selective and selective herbicide spraying.
• Supagreen Environmental also undertakes weed spraying & target weeding of noxious and environmental weeds in bushland and other open space situations. We have vehicle-mounted petrol-engine-driven, hand-held hose set-ups, with a 4-metre-wide boom spray attachment, and back-pack sprayers.
• Our project managers, site supervisors and senior staff have extensive experience in managing and implementing a variety of bush regeneration and weed control projects
