The Nursery was privatised in 1991. A private local company has been operating it under a lease agreement with the Forestry Department, and has been supplying the seedling requirements of the Department. With the projected full implementation of all its plantation and forestation projects however, the Department had to make provision for further forest nursery facilities to produce an estimated 1.5 million seedlings each year. Thus, extension and transit forest nurseries were established under the 6th NDP, in the following strategic places (relative to the locations of the projects): - Sg Lumut
- Sg Mau
- Buau
- Lainunin
Already completed and operational, all these forestry nurseries will eventually be privatised. The Department will however, retain control over the sourcing of seeds and technical prescriptions attendant to seedling propagation, in order to ensure quality of the planting stock produced. |
