In the midst of an exciting week working with some university and federal colleagues to help the Moroccan High Commission on Forests and Water modernize their nursery production techniques. Their goal is to increase reforestation rates by 50% over the next decade. Big challenge, and a great group of people to help set the framework. Working with conifers and hardwoods, including cedar, cork oak, and argon is an interesting mix.
