Environmental Stewardship in the Nursery

摘要

In these "green" times, it seems as though the nursery sector is one of few industries that hasn't been recognized for its contributions towards helping the environment. Xursery growers produce the plants that sequester carbon, provide oxygen, clean tlie air and water, restore habitats, and so on. But it doesn't stop there. At many nurseries in Ontario, growers are working hard to implement more sustainable pi'oduction practices. Many of these stewardship activities are targeted towards jifotecting surface and sub-surface water, reducing the use of fossil fuels, and recycling or reducing waste.
