Many farmers have patches of forests on their lands like this one that have been logged in the past or degraded. Enrichment planting promotes the recovery of these forests by reintroducing native tree species that are important to these ecosystems, planted at an average density of 230 seedlings per hectare. These areas may be poor in species richness – in other words, they have low biodiversity – but they nevertheless offer the forest structure that can protect planted seedlings from frosts during the colder months of June and July. As a result, native tree species for enrichment planting in these areas were distributed to the farmers earlier in the year and planted.
