Community Nurseries

Little tree factories

Our Community Nurseries initiative facilitates the creation of community tree nurseries – often linked to one of our national greenbelts. Nurseries can be either growing from seed or FTFA holding nurseries.

Either way community members get an opportunity to develop a nursery business to support local greening activities.

This initiative does not focus on large groups or cooperatives, but rather on individuals who have shown an interest in running their own tree nursery.
