Bedhouse seedling production
Wind River Nursery is located near Carson, Washington, and is part of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, U.S. Forest Service. The Nursery is presently capable of sustaining an annual production of 18MM bareroot seedlings. It is undergoing an expansion to raise the capacity to 27MM. For the last six years we have been averaging around 3UMM seedlings to meet increased reforestation needs. We have a permanent staff of 62 people and up to 290 temporary laborers to meet our goals. I hope to describe how we supplement our operation with bedhouses. Although there are many ways to use greenhouses, this is our way as we have developed it to the present. Our bedhouse operation consists of 10 houses, approximately 43,200 square feet. We produce roughly 900M seedlings at a cost of $98/N for 1-U stock.
