Native plant revegetation manual for Denali National Park and Preserve

January 1, 2000

This manual describes methods to revegetate subarctic sites with native plants. The information is
based on 20 years of research and revegetation projects in Denali National Park and Preserve and other Alaskan
sites. The manual summarizes information about subarctic ecosystems and discusses using this information to
evaluate disturbed sites and plan revegetation projects. Revegetation techniques addressed include promoting
natural revegetation, legume and wheatgrass seeding, plant salvage and transplant, bioengineering, containergrown
plants, alder seedlings, and willow cuttings. Long-term data for two specific vegetation projects and for
each of the 46 native plant species that have been tested or used for revegetation are presented.
