Forestry

Reforestation, whether through natural regeneration or tree planting, is at the core of our efforts to protect the environment. Watersheds and lands that have been affected by disturbance events, such as anthropogenic desertification, wildfire, climate change, storm events and insect and disease infestations all need ecosystem repair and planting trees  is part of the solution.

Restoring forests and afforestation are top priorities for China. Afforestation establishes forest cover in ecosystems where historically no forest grew but that may have experienced desertification or other ecosystem degradation. Reforestation is a silvicultural treatment used to re-establish forest cover where  forest once grew, thus rebuilding forest function. Reforestation allows for the development of forest structure with renewed biodiversity, and a canopy that provides many benefits including wildlife habitat, clean and abundant water, carbon sequestration, wood products for consumers, forest recreation opportunities, reduced erosion, and renewed soil biologic activity. Reforestation sequesters carbon to counter greenhouse gas emissions and counter the effects of climate change.

In some situations, relying on natural regeneration from on-site seed and genetic sources may best meet management objectives. While on other sites where the seed source has been lost due to a natural disturbance, such as a stand-replacing wildfire, tree planting may be needed to restore forest to the site. Trella’s propagation facilities grow native, biologically appropriate seedlings adapted for out-planting on reforestation sites. This assures that  forest projects have the best chance of long-term success.

Factors of Site Selection

Place of Origin

We select native trees because they are the result of local natural selection and are adapted to local soil, rainfall patterns and temperatures. Planting native trees increases biodiversity in the urban forest and diversifies the city landscape keeping it resilient in the face of climate change.

Hardiness Range

The ideal seedling should be able to put up with the local extreme temperature.

Growth Pattern and Rate

The space a tree needs for growing is often overlooked. However, we bear in mind the shape and size of a tree while calculating the surface and sub-surface space it needs.

Exposure Tolerance

The ideal tree should be able to adapt to different intensity of sunlight while maintaining its eco-services in the long run.

Requirements in Maintenance

The ideal tree should require low maintenance in order to promote efficiency in urban forest ecosystem management.

Disease and Insect Resistance

It’s time and energy consuming to apply chemical or biological control, that’s why species with high disease and insect resistance are chosen to minimize the input-output ratio.

Biodiversity

Cities can be part of the natural forest system. We drive biodiversity by selecting native species and encouraging the use of a diversity of trees. A healthy forest, in a city or on a mountain, consists of many different kinds of trees.

By creating a user-friendly and interactive platform to learn about, purchase and gift trees, we are directly contributing to the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Access the Tree Gifting mini app or scan this WeChat QR code.

Education

Trees and ecosystems don’t work long without understanding. Civic ecology is an important part of growing healthy and productive forests and urban forests. Our forests will sequester more carbon when society cares and learns more about them. Education starts before trees are planted and continues long after tree roots enter the earth. Eco-benefits form the access point for all to understand sustainability and biodiversity in Trella’s various education endeavors. They are explored through the lens of growing seedlings, and tree planting in an urban forestry. Each topic is presented as an answer to a need of the tree or citizen, such as digging the right kind of hole that will keep the roots healthy. Read more about this on our Education & Research page.
