Getting started

Pre-planting checklist

Prepare the site, resources and follow-up before planting.

Practical guide

Key takeaway

Planting starts before the planting day and continues with maintenance.

01

Clarify the project

Agree on goals with those involved. Confirm the site, its use and everyone’s responsibilities. Species and restoration methods should match local conditions.

02

Prepare resources

Plan seedlings, tools, transport and labour. Include maintenance and monitoring in the budget from the outset, rather than funding only the planting day.

03

Arrange follow-up

Assign a coordinator and record interventions. Observations after planting help adapt management to the site.
