Fellows visited Webster Nursery, a 50 year old nursery run by the Washington Department of Natural Resources. The nursery provides 10 million seedlings a year to state and private lands for reforestation. The 260 acre facilities primarily grows 9 species, including Douglas-fir, true firs, pines, and alder. Webster is Washington’s only state run nursery and has been self-funded since 1962; all seeds, salaries, improvements and operations are paid from the nursery's $2.5 million yearly revenues.
