Abstract:	An evaluation of revegetation sites on two properties on the Kalgan River WA which were implemented in 1995 to rehabilitate salinized land compared the relative success of direct seeding and seedling planting. Both sites indicate that careful ground preparation is critical to long term viability. Areas revegetated using direct seeding methods have achieved dense stands of canopy and understorey plants and exhibit structural and species diversity. Areas of planted seedlings have suffered significant loss from stock intrusion and increasing salinity in low lying areas, and in some cases, poor soil preparation (A).
