The reserve should be a haven for a variety of food plants, including flowers, fruit-bearing trees, nuts, seeds, edible leaves, and fungi. These elements form the foundation of a food pyramid for carnivorous animals. To support bug and minibeast populations, the reserve must offer an abundance of nooks, crannies, and crevices for shelter and egg-laying.

The goal is to cultivate an environment that can largely sustain itself. Drought-resistant, self-seeding plants should be prioritized to prevent overgrowth and maintain accessibility.
