There are many wonderful aspects to the Savanna Project, but the best is the fact that it requires almost no work. We do not burn or spray, and for the most part invasive exotics are ignored until they are interfering with the growth of trees greater than two feet tall. We don't purchase any plants for the savanna, nor do we propagate beyond gathering seeds and tossing them here and there. In this area of adequate rainfall, sufficient seed banks, and seed rain plus animal-assisted dispersal, the do-nothing approach has been extremely successful in establishing the savanna.
