The successful rehabilitation of unique ecosystems following mining activities presents significant challenges. Since the 1960s, Alcoa has been actively involved in bauxite mining within designated regions of the Northern Jarrah Forest in Western Australia and has implemented a comprehensive, science-driven engineered system for soil and ecosystem rehabilitation. Recognising the significant ecological value of this natural system, Alcoa's approach involves a carefully planned multi-stage process, with a strong emphasis on the critical aspects of enhancing water storage within the soil profile through creation of a structured root zone. Techniques such as deep ripping and contour ripping are employed to effectively manage soil compaction and enhance the stability and health of the restored landscape. Soil fertility, a key factor for successful rehabilitation, is addressed through meticulous topsoil management practices, including pioneered double stripping technique to preserve the seed and nutrient-rich topsoil. Furthermore, Alcoa utilises a strategy of minimal and research-informed fertiliser application, complemented by the incorporation of native legumes to naturally enhance soil nitrogen levels. Overcoming constraints to plant growth is achieved through a combination of methods, including alleviating soil compaction, returning soil materials that support vegetation establishment and sustainable growth, and carefully selecting key native plant species for revegetation, often utilising specialised propagation techniques. Alcoa's long-term commitment to this region spans over five decades, demonstrating a continuous dedication to establishing self-sustaining Jarrah Forest ecosystems and a commitment to returning rehabilitated land to the State, showcasing the integrated and adaptive approach to achieving a resilient and biodiverse restored forest.
