Introduction to Revegetation
Our revegetation works are completed by our specialist division Habitat Solutions. You can find out more about them here.
Revegetation is the act of restoring native habitat and vegetation through the rehabilitation of soils, re-planting of trees, shrubs and groundcovers, and thereby stabilising land from wind and water erosion.
Not only does this help with the aforementioned erosion, but it assists with water adsorption, and the provision of natural habitat for local fauna. More trees contribute to a cooler climate, and of course revegetation will contribute to carbon sequestration.
You might hear both the terms revegetation and regeneration commonly used. Revegetation is a step further than regeneration, and generally occurs when the land is too damaged, the ecosystem too degraded, to regenerate naturally.
It will require some planning in advance. How revegetation occurs will involve the size and shape of the land, the local species and the budget for any particular project.
Our Revegetion Services
Our revegetation services include the restoration and ongoing maintenance of existing natural features to support the health and sustainability of the environment and regeneration of native species. We look at sites strategically, considering how we can restore habitat for the greatest environmental impact.
These rejuvenated spaces will support breeding, pollination and food sources, while also creating buffer zones and corridors. This includes key waterways and wetland areas.

Revegetation is the act of restoring native habitat and vegetation through the rehabilitation of soils, re-planting of trees, shrubs and groundcovers, and thereby stabilising land from wind and water erosion.
Some of the benefits of revegetation works include habitat restoration for wildlife, restoration of healthy ecosystems, connection of corridors of bushland, improved soil health and stability, and reduced erosion from wind and rain.
It is always better to retain existing native vegetation than to restore cleared ecosystems, however, when this isn’t always an option. Revegetation works will ensure you are leaving the land in a better way than you found it.
The revegetation process begins by firstly identifying areas suitable, clearing weeds, identifying local flora and obtaining seedlings and tubestock, followed by preparation of the soil. Once planting takes place, the aim is that these corridors of habitat can continue to be built upon over time. Infill planting will most likely be needed in the future to replace any plants that may have died. It can take up to 15 years to completely revegetate an area, and even then trees will need much longer to completely mature.
Our team has a number of revegetation solutions available. What’s needed for your particular site will depend on a variety of factors. Please get in touch with our team at Habitat Solutions for more information.
