The language around restoration can be very broad and can also imply slightly different things, but ultimately, it is about using the most ecologically appropriate plants to return a place back to a point in time of what ‘used to be’. For some this starts out as revegetating or reforesting an area – putting in trees and shrubs to assist in erosion control for example; whilst for others it is the full package of trying to recreate lost ecosystems and also associated and important cultural practices. The challenge for all situations however, is doing restoration in a way that doesn’t clash with but supports broader social and economic values as well as the ecological and cultural.
