Türkiye’s Eskişehir Nursery Triples Sapling Output After Record Forest Fires
Eskişehir Forest Nursery in Türkiye has significantly boosted its sapling production to 9 million this year, a substantial increase driven by the surge in forest fires across the country.
The nursery, which typically produces 3 million saplings annually, has tripled its target for the upcoming year due to the urgent need for reforestation. It supplies saplings for various projects, focusing on areas devastated by recent fires.
Türkiye faced one of its most challenging fire seasons this year, with a total of 1,351 forest fires recorded. The prolonged drought exacerbated the situation, making the nursery's increased production a crucial step in recovery efforts.
Eskişehir Forest Nursery's enhanced sapling production will play a vital role in restoring Türkiye's forests, particularly in regions ravaged by this year's fires. The nursery's commitment to tripling its production target for the next year underscores the urgency and importance of reforestation efforts.
