Türkiye's Eskişehir Forest Nursery Triples Sapling Production After Devastating Fires
Eskişehir Forest Nursery in Türkiye has significantly boosted its sapling production in response to this year's devastating forest fires. The nursery's annual target has been tripled to around 9 million saplings, a substantial increase to help restore burned areas.

The nursery, located in Eskişehir, will primarily supply the affected provinces. Known recipients include Bursa, Bolu, Bilecik, and Muğla. However, no public information specifies all the cities and provinces that will receive seedlings. Further details are awaited from official Turkish sources.
