Non-native, introduced species such as eucalyptus can grow quickly but they are also known to have some harmful effects on the environment.

We purchase quality saplings from our associate nurseries. We ensure that these are of the highest quality so that survival rate is high.

We are also in the process of setting up our own nursery. Here, we will be able to raise saplings of endangered species of trees.
