A new project led by TRAFFIC suggests that the answer is yes — if communities are involved.

Wild plants and fungi have long provided food, medicine, and income for communities around the world, and underpinned multiple food, cosmetic and health supply chains.

A new toolkit developed through a partnership led by TRAFFIC as part of an Advancing Restoration Knowledge project funded by the Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme, is helping landscape restoration practitioners around the world explore how the responsible use and trade of these resources could also support landscape recovery.

Our plants and trees are estimated to contribute £4.1 billion per year to the UK’s economy – their vast canopies are teeming with birds and insects, they help mitigate the impact of flooding for communities across the country, trees outside woodland in towns as well as rural areas are cherished by the British people. But our trees are vulnerable, with plant pests and diseases posing a significant threat to nature and the economy.

The threat from pests and diseases is growing due to factors like climate change, and it is increasingly important to plant resilient trees that can withstand warmer temperatures so people and nature can enjoy the widespread benefits they bring.

The Miyawaki planting method was originally developed in Japan in the 1970s and typically involves high density planting in specially prepared soil. Although almost unknown in the UK a few years ago, this planting method has proven to be a great way to establish young trees in areas where conditions aren't ideal for planting — for example, in poor soil.
