The restoration approach implemented at the Blomerus site includes the active management of alien vegetation, supporting natural forest regeneration and actively planting indigenous seedlings, harvested from the forest interior, where required and appropriate. Each year in Spring, newly germinated forest seedlings are harvested from the forest floor and reared in the forest nursery. After 2 years, they are ready to be replanted to expand the forest. This tree planting happens at the start of the rainy season to ensure best survival probabilities, by using the dryland planting technique. This technique mimics natural nutrient pockets by using wood chips processed from cleared alien vegetation.
