This document discusses farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR), a method of regenerating trees without planting by selecting desired tree stumps and managing regrowth. Key points: - FMNR has been implemented in over 95 countries but few programs have scaled up, making the FMNR story unique. - FMNR involves selecting tree stumps, choosing stems to leave, removing unwanted growth, and pruning/thinning emerging stems. - FMNR can regenerate trees on farmland, grazing land, forests, and wastelands using existing roots and seeds. - Case studies show rapid tree growth within 1-3 years through FMNR management compared to no management.
