Linear plantings of trees and shrubs designed to provide economic, environmental and community benefits.
Windbreak
Line of closely spaced shrubs and sometimes trees, planted and trained to form a barrier or boundary of an area.
Hedge/Hedgegrow
Most critical infrastructure in a forest nursery.
Water supply/ Irrigation System
Method used when the water source is located up slopes from the nursery.
Gravity method
Method used when the source of water is down slope relative to the nursery.
Use of power generated pumps
Requires more area and much water maybe lost due to seepage.
Open Ditches
