Revegetation

Restoration, Revegetation, Rehabilitation

Revegetation can be a component of a large ecological restoration project or a once off, standalone activity. In either situation, Natural Area has the ability to provide an experienced planting team, tools and equipment, planting aids as well as plant stock. Our planting teams are trained and knowledgeable about Perth endemic flora species and bushland management, which means the right plant positioning and density can be achieved if not provided by the client in detailed specifications.

Natural Area can provide competitive hourly or per plant rate for planting, no project is too big or too small. Additionally, Natural Area can provide advice on species selection and are able to supply over 600 different species of native plants through our accredited plant production nursery.

  • Planting

    Natural Area have undertaken revegetation projects for many clients over the past 10 years. This has included small scale planting (100 plants) to large scale ecological restoration planting (+250,000 plants). We have gained experience working over a variety of terrains and environments including coastal dunes, wetlands, bushlands, hills areas, parklands, median strips and gardens.

  • Direct Seeding

    Some sites benefit from direct seeding, where native seed is broadcast over the soil and allowed to germinate under natural conditions. Natural Area can collect seed or provide seed from our seedbank, undertake any required treatments and then bulk and package seed ready for broadcast. We can also undertake ground preparation works. We have specialist equipment for direct seeding over large areas or can broadcast by hand.

  • Plant Supply

    We can supply plants for revegetation projects grown specifically from provenance seed in our in-house accredited plant production nursery including many difficult to grow and recalcitrant species. We can ensure the quality of stock, meaning that success criteria are more likely to be met.
