Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to have a licence when I grow forest seedlings, but do not sell them for forestry purposes?

No. The licence is mandatory if reproductive material is going to be used for forest regeneration and afforestation. Reproductive material that is used for ornamental or other purposes DOES NOT REQUIRE a licence.
