Extending woodland edges can make a great island of regeneration
Pros
— Inexpensive to establish, especially if remnant trees are used as strainer posts.
Cons
— Excludes stock from an area of the paddock for a period of time
Tips
— extend fencing no further than the height of the trees in the woodland, as seeds are not likely to disperse further than this.
— Scout for existing natural regeneration, and try to place fencing so as to protect them.
Extending an adjacent woodland into a paddock is a great way to create an island of regeneration. Using some existing trees as strainer posts can save money.
