The Scientific Method? Think GCT

Green- What grows where, site, Soil, Seedstock, Establishment, Monitor, PHC, Biomechanics
Culture- Indigenous, Human Factors, What we know- pass it on- Book of knowledge
Technology- Existing and Innovation

What is ITPI?

Biodiversity. Plant Material and Seedstock
Right Tree Right Place
Cultural and Indigenous Management- Proper Planting
Tree Stability (Tree Biomechanics)
$ Economic and Ecological Return on Investment ($ EROI)
