Then Regenerate Where bushland remains but is degraded by factors such as weed invasion or grazing, regeneration should be the primary goal. Even quite damaged bushland is valuable and is capable of regenerating if given the right assistance. Remember not to clear too much too quickly. As well as native regeneration, lots of extra weeds ususally appear after clearing, and follow up weeding will be needed to maintain the site. It's very important to protect any regenerating natives from getting swamped by weeds.
Natural regeneration can take time and is influenced by seasonal conditions.
So after clearing the weeds wait and see what happens. If you are not sure about your ability to identify young regenerating natives, enlist the help of someone with more experience. Natural regeneration can often be encouraged by removing excess ground litter and disturbing the topsoil. Allow light and warmth to reach ground level. Mulching should be avoided where you expect regeneration - it will suppress the weeds but it has the same effect on regenerating natives.
