| Short description: |
Best Practice Guidance for Land Regeneration is a series of Guidance Notes based
on research and practical experience in the restoration of brownfield land for
woodland and urban greening after uses.
The Notes are devised for practitioners and all those responsible for restoring land
back to beneficial soft end uses, particularly involving trees and woodland.

Best Practice Guidance Notes are now available for:
1. Soil sampling derelict, underused and neglected land prior to
greenspace establishment
2. Laboratory analysis of soils and spoils
3. Do you need to cultivate before woodland establishment?
4. Loose tipping
5. Imported soil or soil-forming materials placement
6. Application of sewage sludges and composts
7. Fertiliser application in land regeneration
8. Native and non-native trees: why and how to choose

10. Tree seeding
11. Weed control
Over the next 2–3 years we are aiming to cover the following topics:
n Berm design
n Tree stock types
n Amelioration of pyritic spoils
n Protection from animal browsing
n Woodland maintenance
n Landform design
n Site monitoring
n Drainage and water management issues
n Road design
