The 2010 reclamation criteria for forested lands requires the establishment of both native woody and herbaceous species, while controlling undesirable and noxious weed species, to reclaim industrially disturbed sites to functional forest ecosystems. Hitchhiker planting in reclamation is a new technique pilot tested by NAIT’s Centre for Boreal Research to simultaneously grow and establish native woody and herbaceous species. This technical note outlines planting protocols for overstory woody species grown with herbaceous understory species or woody understory species in the nursery.
