Planting trees is one thing, protecting them during the critical first three to six years, however, is something else. Far too many plants that have been raised and planted with care, effort and knowledge, die due to lack of maintenance of the plantations.

The maintenance operations and protection that might be needed are:

- Weed control
- Protection from grazing
- Fire prevention
- Protection from insects, diseases and rodents
- Fertilizers
- Replacement planting
