Encompassing 100 acres of tallgrass prairie converted into agricultural land and 60 acres of woodland along a creek, Homestead National Historical Park underwent restoration by the National Park Service in 1939 to address severe erosion and improve water quality and soil productivity to support native plants and wildlife.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service initiated the Duralde Cajun Prairie Restoration Project in Evangeline Parish in 1994 to restore the coastal tallgrass prairie from historical agricultural and land conversion degradation. They arranged purchased of 334 acres of Cajun Prairie and then conducted series of restoration activities, including clearing invasive tallow trees and transplanting native vegetation.

This study aimed to restore the tundra thermal region in the Arctic regions to assist recovery from mineral extraction activities. Plugs of entire root zone and live tundra plants were transplanted to a disturbed site in Alaska oil fields. The study examined plant responses in the plugs to thermal regime manipulations by means of greenhouse and of single- or double-plug treatments.

Non-native Boer and Lehmann lovegrasses threatened the native grasslands at the Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch (AWRR). AWRR staff began experimenting with treatments of lovegrass in the late-1990s to discover effective methods to protect and rehabilitate native grasslands. Chemical treatment (glyphosate + colorant + surfactant) was the only method that was effective.

The Uncompahgre Plateau (UP) Project was formalized through a joint partnership of federal and state governments to restore the ecological, social, cultural, and economic value of the over 1.5 million acres of Uncompahgre Plateau. The primary UP programs are: Landscape Scale Project Planning, Invasive Species Management, a Native Plant Program, On-The-Ground Treatments, and Education and Technology Transfer.

Researchers from the University of Arizona tested the ability of branch mulch and compost from mesquite removal projects to reestablish vegetation and improve soil health in the Altar Valley of Southern Arizona over the course of two years. Recycling whole mesquite branch mulch eliminates the need for tillage and reduces costs.

Beginning in 2004, the National Park Service began experimenting with mulch, branch mulch, rock mulch, and various planting techniques in highly degraded and eroded soils in Big Bend National Park (BIBE) in the Chihuahuan Desert grasslands of western Texas. The goal was to restore the banded vegetation to naturally direct rainfall and runoff, assist water infiltration, and reduce erosion.

Wildlife Corridors LLC purchased a 189-lot, high-density housing development to create a single conservation easement project. They preserved the wildlife corridors and managed the land use for restoration and recreation. These wildlife corridors serve as linkages to enhance genetic flow and biodiversity of wildlife species.
