Silage is a type of preserved, fermented fodder that is fed to livestock when grass is scarce or unavailable. Household-level silage production involves growing oats within winter/spring livestock shelters, chopping the harvested crop, and then compacting it in plastic tanks where it forms silage through an anaerobic process.

Wild cherry seeds are collected and sown in an open-air nursery within a schoolyard. The planting area is fenced by wooden boards and filled with a humus-rich soil and a light mulch, such as sawdust, is added to retain moisture and control weeds. This practice enhances the survival rate of seedlings – which are planted out in school groves as well as being available for regreening projects.

This approach combines ecological restoration of degraded Miombo woodlands and montane forests with the application of scientifically validated forest integrity assessment tools in Chimanimani National Park. It integrates participatory planning, establishment of permanent monitoring plots, assisted natural regeneration, and enrichment planting with native species, while using Miombo ecosystem metrics and the Forest Integrity Assessment Tool (FIAT) to monitor forest recovery and guide conservation management.

“Controlled Grazing” seeks to harness the behaviours and habits of ruminant livestock to enhance three key ecological functions, namely the removal of plant biomass (grazing), soil and vegetation disturbance (animal impact) and increased nutrient cycling (dung and urine), with the goal of increasing perennial grass establishment, pasture palatability and reducing bare ground and erosion.

Participatory Net Planning (PNP) is a practical methodology that actively engages landowners and local stakeholders in planning and implementing measures for land use, soil conservation, water harvesting, and biomass development. It aims to regenerate ecosystems and improve the sustainability of watersheds through site-specific resource management. PNP emphasizes the conservation, productivity enhancement, and sustainable use of natural and biological resources. It involves assessing the current condition and use of land, water, and vegetation, and preparing detailed plans—with estimated costs and timelines—to achieve the desired outcomes. In Participatory Net Planning (PNP), the term “Net” represents a complete and interconnected planning framework where every land parcel within a watershed is individually assessed and linked to the larger watershed system. It highlights a network-based approach that integrates soil, water, vegetation, and community needs, ensuring that interventions on one farm support resource conservation and productivity across neighboring and downstream lands. Overall, it signifies a holistic and coordinated system where all stakeholders and resources are planned collectively for sustainable and long-term watershed management.
