TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION BY RESTORATION UNITS IV.3. PROMOTION OF AUTOGENIC RESTORATION: 1. Describe management practices for existing vegetation to promote autogenic restoration / regeneration: - Heavy pruning (coppice) to reinforce tree vigour - Selective pruning of branches - Removal of biomass around selected trees or seedlings - Thinning and selection among young seedlings and saplings - Dissemination and seeding of native species present but not regenerating rapidly Other. Describe tree shelters (individual shoot protection with sl  2. Was protection of self-seeding natives undertaken? Yes Description: individual sapling protection
