Forest Tree Nursery Energy Considerations
What prompts a discussion of energy at a meeting like this?

Likewise all tree nurseries use petroleum products to power wheeled equipment, for space heating, and other applications. Natural gas is often used for space heating, drying cones or heating greenhouses.
