regreen
Plant again after
To regreen is to restore vegetation or greenery to an area that has lost it.
The term appears in environmental contexts—regreening deserts, cities, or degraded land: The initiative aims to regreen the Sahel region.
It can also describe something returning to green on its own: The hillsides regreened after the rains.
