Treeline Journal

Treeline Journal is a content platform dedicated to ecological restoration, botany, and rewilding initiatives. The journal documents scientific and practical approaches to landscape regeneration, with particular emphasis on unconventional or counter-intuitive restoration methods.

Banks Peninsula Project

The journal is notably recognized for its coverage of ecological restoration work conducted by botanist Hugh Wilson in the Banks Peninsula region of New Zealand. Wilson’s approach challenges conventional restoration practices by demonstrating how gorse, typically considered an invasive species, can serve as a functional component within ecosystem recovery strategies rather than requiring complete eradication. This work represents a shift in restoration philosophy toward understanding how non-native species can be integrated into rewilding efforts when managed appropriately.
