- Observation Seeds were harvested for 19 of 37 selected native tree species.
- Observation Sixteen harvested native species yielded enough nursery seedlings for field planting.
- Observation The same five native species had survival comparable to Acacia auriculiformis after five years.
- Observation The same five native species had carbon sequestration performance comparable to Acacia auriculiformis after five years.
- Recommendation The authors recommend improving seed conservation and nursery techniques for large-scale native seedling production.
- Recommendation The authors recommend local knowledge and community involvement in tree planting efforts.
