The process to recreate the function, value, and aesthetic properties of impacted native ecosystems requires proper planning, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance.   Ecologists need to be active in the development of improved methods and techniques to make the restoration of natural vegetation communities on disturbed sites successful; these include large-scale topsoil and seedbank translocation, salvage and propagation of thousands of native plants and intensive weeding programs designed to substantially reduce competition with non-native species.

Specialized field crews are often implemented to complete specific tasks such as plant propagation, plant salvage, plant translocation, herbicide application, and weeding.   On-site nurseries for specific projects are often developed to propagate plants from the geographical region under local weather conditions, in soil native to the area.
