The Resources for Tree Planting Platform

Export citation

The Resources for Tree Planting Platform explains how to go about sourcing good quality tree planting material for growers carrying out land restoration, agroforestry, plantation establishment and other tree planting activities. By ‘planting material’ we mean seeds, seedlings and vegetatively propagated materials (clones). The resources on the Platform are mostly practical ‘how to’ guidelines for extension workers, tree seed collectors, nursery operators and tree growers. But they also include information useful for the planners of tree planting, for tree researchers and for government policy makers. For each resource listed on the Platform, we explain its use and the user group.
