Recreating the Country
By Stephen Murphy

At the heart of Recreating the Country are ten key design principles observed in nature to create a new form of revegetation - the 'sustainable biorich plantation.' Incorporating other forms of vegetation like agroforestry, biorich plantations aim to enrich biodiversity for posterity, while providing income and products for the landholder.

Fully illustrated in colour, this practical designer's guide will be an asset to any personal library. This Second Edition is fully updated and expanded with three new chapters: 6 case studies; Biodiversity plus profit = biorich; Landscape corridors and connectivity. An index has also been added for quick referencing.
