Tree nurseries vary greatly from a few dozen seedlings grown in household nurseries to mechanized commercial enterprises producing millions of seedlings per year. The establishment of permanent and high capacity nurseries requires initial high investment, utilizes the land permanently and is labour intensive. Mobile nurseries made from locally available material could circumvent the need for high cost permanent nurseries as well as reduce the costs of household labour. Mobile nursery coordinators are provided with polythene tubes and the seeds of Cordia africana, Rhamnus prinoides, Eucalyptus camaldulnesis, Eucalyptus saligna and Olea europaea. The Farmer's Research Group (FRG) members, development agents of peasant associations and district natural resource management experts, were trained in using mobile nurseries and other nursery operations. FRG members found the mobile tree nursery technology to be viable due to its portability and very important due to its financial benefits, potential to create opportunities for women and its ecological importance.
