Overview

Restoration planned as a protected establishment process

Ayebo Green Wall translates a dryland-restoration idea into a phased ten-acre concept. The strategy responds to livestock pressure, water scarcity, wind erosion and establishment risk through a protected living perimeter, drought-hardy planting, micro-catchments, firebreaks and manageable blocks.

Challenge

Planting alone does not create a resilient landscape. The concept needed to address protection, water, maintenance, fire and phasing as one establishment system while remaining clear enough for partners and funders to assess.

Role

We led development-planning research, site-strategy framing, implementation sequencing and proposal communication.

Approach
  1. Frame the perimeter as protection, habitat and productive infrastructure
  2. Use drought-hardy planting and micro-catchments to reduce establishment risk
  3. Divide the site into manageable blocks with access and firebreaks
  4. Sequence quantities, maintenance and partnerships through a phased roadmap
Outputs
  • Site-strategy concept
  • Planting and water logic
  • Indicative quantities
  • Implementation and partnership roadmap
What This Demonstrates
  • Climate resilience translated into spatial and operational choices
  • Environmental risk integrated from the start
  • A concept structured for technical review and partnership discussion
Where This Applies

Bring this capability to a live brief.

Landowners, community organisations and resilience programmes often need to turn an environmental ambition into a spatially coherent, phased and reviewable proposal. We connect site logic, implementation and communication before detailed technical design.
