BRAC Nursery
A BRAC Social Enterprise
Helping improve ecological balance through forestation
Background
BRAC Nursery, previously known as the Social Forestry Programme, was set up in 1988 to provide high quality seeds to small and marginal farmers to increase agricultural productivity and farm earnings. The enterprise uses a variety of activities to increase awareness about the necessity of planting trees and to increase the number and variety of trees not only to meet the basic needs such as timber, fuel and fruit but also to restore the ecological balance.
BRAC Nursery today
We aim to maintain and improve ecological balance through forestation and contribute towards increasing environmental awareness alongside of generating income and employment. This year we have been awarded the First Prize in the National Tree Plantation and Tree Fair by Bangladesh Forest Department, Ministry of Environment and Forest.
BRAC Nursery currently produces and distributes quality seedlings through 15 large horticulture nurseries spreading all over the country and develops technology for different species.
