🌳 Long-term, low-input, low-cost, low-biodiversity shelter belts are not my preferred methods of reforestation but it does the job, so to speak. 🌳 25 trees in a 100-metre long corridor is sparse. But long-term, and with 100% survival rate, within five years, will get you a two meter wide tree. 🌳 Enough to fill some gaps, shade a cow and provide some habitat. 🌳 The interesting thing is that if you multiply that by 4x. Those processes happen 4x times faster. 🌳 So 100 plants in a 100 metre corridor will get you that sort of vegetative growth within one year. With the addition of a fast growing shrub, a tussock grass, and a ground-cover, you’re speeding up biodiversity and what that does is effectively hand out 4 x times the invitations to your biodiversity party. — — — #biodiversityparty #reforest #reforestation #trees #sheoak #morningtonpeninsula #biodiversity (at Cape Schanck) https://www.instagram.com/p/CddCCJEJAf1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
