Millions of hectares of temperate woodland and billions of trees have been cleared from Australia’s agricultural landscapes. This has allowed land to be developed for cropping and grazing livestock but has also had significant environmental impacts, including erosion, salinity and loss of native plant and animal species.

Restoring Farm Woodlands for Wildlife focuses on why restoration is important and describes best practice approaches to restore farm woodlands for birds, mammals and reptiles. Based on 19 years of long-term research in temperate agricultural south-eastern Australia, this book addresses practical questions such as what, where and how much to plant, ways to manage plantings and how plantings change over time. It will be a key reference for farmers, natural resource management professionals and policy-makers concerned with revegetation and conservation.

Reviews for Restoring Farm Woodlands for Wildlife

""The book is a useful and worthy addition to the shelves of any land management organisation and all landholders concerned with revegetation in agricultural landscapes. It's an accessible summary of much recent research and a useful statement of guiding principles that all successful revegetation works should keep in mind."" David Cheal, Australasian Plant Conservation 27(3), December 2018-February 2019 ""This book is a must read for anyone planning restoration or revegetation works on land previously cleared for agricultural purposes."" De-Anne Attard, Wildlife Magazine 13(2), May 2019 ""Restoring Farm Woodlands for Wildlife will give strategy and confidence to landowners taking on larger scale restoration works. There are great statistics to help provide answers for high school assignments or even to resolve front bar discussions in the local pub.""
