Revegetation - Restoration and Management of Forest Remnants

Forest remnants are a refuge for New Zealand’s native plants and animals and reflect the country’s special landscape character. They promote genetic diversity and provide a context for understanding our flora, fauna and representative soil types.

We take pride in helping landowners restore areas of open space of particular value, such as forest remnants, wetlands, lakes and streams and rural landscapes. These scattered remains are a snapshot of the past of the natural landscape that covered New Zealand prior to the arrival of settlers. Because our remaining forests are scattered throughout our working landscapes some degree of management is often required to ensure their survival and restore them to a healthy and vigorous state.

Native forest restoration means understanding nature's processes and making them work for you and your specific area. We at Holland Landscape Management can help draw together the principles, methods and techniques of forest restoration and re-establishment and give practical advice on tackling common problems. Our team is trained to take into account important background factors when planning a carefully undertaken restoration and management programme.
