Milan Maturuga arrived at WFI with the goal of experiencing as many nursery related projects as possible. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, he teaches students how to grow and plant seedlings, and hopes to write a new textbook for his students. The last war in Bosnia had a major impact on forests in the country, including destroying seed orchards and nursery equipment. Now there is a great need for restoring degraded forestland, but quality seedlings are needed first.

Milan has visited several nurseries so far, see some of his photos here:
