With the purpose of preparing a modern nursery capable of producing good quality seeds, the Central Su-lawesi Provincial Forestry Service, led by its head and accompanied by the Head of Watershed Manage-ment and Forest and Land Rehabilitation, as the technical officer in charge of seed management at this facility, paid a visit to the Rumpin Seed Source and Nursery Center (RSSNC) in Bogor, West Java on 31 March 2022. This activity, which was supported by FORCLIME, was organized in order to secure data and information on the primary and supporting facilities available at this modern nursery, as well as to gain information on the procedures and stages involved in seed production processes capable of producing high-quality seeds.

This working visit is expected to result in recommendations relating to the implementation of follow-ups at the forest plant nursery that is currently in operation at the Forestry Service of Central Sulawesi Province. In this regard, the information that was obtained during this visit to the RSSNC will hopefully be adopted, replicated and/or modified in accordance with the prevailing conditions in Central Sulawesi in order to produce high-quality seeds that are capable of supporting efforts to increase the success of forest and land rehabilitation activities.
