Trees on the Treeless Plains
by David Holmgren
A revegetation manual that provides a design system approach and principles applicable everywhere to assist in the development of local strategies and design solutions.
This design manual is a result of years of research and observation
into the role and potential of trees and shrubs on farms. It addresses
the transformation of broader farm landscapes through the application
of permaculture principles to revegetation. The manual includes
revegetation strategies and design solutions relevant to increasing
and diversifying farm productivity while stabilising the landscape.
It also address the public land on roadsides, stream sides and
reserves.
The case study approach of the manual uses the volcanic
landscapes as a focus to describe land types, local native species
and to provide strategies, design solutions and species lists.
It is directly relevant to some of the most valuable agricultural
land in Victoria including the extensive Western Districts. A comprehensive
species index of native and introduced trees and shrubs with proven
performance provides a ready guide to species selection for different
situations and purposes. For private and public land managers of
the volcanic landscapes this manual is an essential reference.
Review:
'...this is the only book that deals with Broadacre Permaculture systems (zones 3-5). I use this text in PDC's when discussing Broadacre Permaculture with its great species index and range of design layouts exemplifying many key sustainable land use techniques.' - Darren Doherty
