The Nursery unit is now serving as vegetation seedling station which supplies the need of DAHANA with regards to its environmental development. The area of about 2 hectares managed by the Nursery is a green area for with facilities such as seedling houses, poly-bag stores where seedling and sowing are done for necessary natural adjustment before vegetations are planted.

“About 450 hectare of DAHANA’s land will be assigned as vegetation and productive forest. This is our effort for utilization of land while conserving the environment and maintaining the EMC are ecosystem,” says Ruskalim. (SYA)
