Science underpins the restoration work we do across Australia. This collection of papers shares the science behind our methods, from seed biology to large scale landscape restoration. By making this work available, we aim to support practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in the evidence that guides effective restoration.

Green Firebreaks: A fire-aware revegetation approach

This project investigates how revegetation on private land can enhance biodiversity, landscape connectivity, and resilience while contributing to long-term fire management in the context of climate change and increasing bushfire risk.

Pollinators in SPAs: Ensuring sex happens for seed production

This factsheet, produced by Dr Melinda Pickup and Dr Kit Prendergast as part of a five-year Greening Australia research project funded by The Ian Potter Foundation, explores the crucial role of pollinators in seed production areas (SPAs) to ensure sufficient cross-pollination and high-quality seed supply for large-scale restoration.
