3. Implementation

Once the baseline work and planning phase of a forest restoration project are complete, the next critical step is the implementation. In this stage, your restoration vision and objectives are put into action, transitioning from theoretical ideas to practical, on-site activities. These activities usually encompass a range of tasks such as site preparation, planting, invasive species management and soil restoration among others. 

Successful implementation requires you to consider several key aspects: Effective communication between planners and fieldworkers, the appropriate selection of tools and equipment, and the systematic prioritization of activities are all relevant elements ensuring that your restoration goals can be achieved. Moreover, the ability to adapt to site-specific challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities is essential, as each restoration site presents a unique set of ecological, logistical, and socio-economic conditions.
