When possible, irrigate. Supplemental water after plant installation can enhance restoration outcomes.

Monitoring is critical for understanding utility of restoration techniques and the assessment of short and long terms goals. Monitoring should be formal, planned and long term.

Many practitioners have found that including a mulch layer over seeded areas can facilitate establishment of desired species and reduce weed encroachment.
