Wilding Prevention - Guidelines for minimising the risk of unwanted wilding spread from new plantings of introduced conifers (No.1 in a set)

Land managers and adminstrators must encourage the wise use of introduced trees, to minimise the risk of unwanted spread of wilding trees from new plantings
» Show abstract
Prospective planters should pay particular attention to: species choice use less spread-prone species in contentious areas; siting avoid take-off sites (exposed to prevailing winds); plantation design orientation relative to prevailing wind, edge planting of less spread-prone species; surrounding land management manage pasture, or maintain a closed canopy in shrublands/forest, to prevent wilding establishment; improve pasture, or mob stock annually, commitment to wilding removal before coning age (agreement with neighbours may be necessary)
