Native Habitat Restoration Plan

Reference ecosystem, baseline survey, species selection, planting plan, maintenance, monitoring, and a definition of success.

Defining success in advance is the discipline. Restoration projects that never said what they were aiming for cannot be evaluated and mostly are not.

The page has the full plan template, a native species list for the region, and a monitoring framework. It also asks what happens if it fails, which is a question professionals ask and students usually do not, and answering it produces better plans.
