revegetating
Restoring plant cover
Revegetating is restoring plant life to land that has been stripped of it—by mining, fire, construction, or other disturbance.
The process involves planting or seeding to prevent erosion and rebuild ecosystems: The agency is revegetating the slopes after the wildfire.
