This paper evaluates small-scale tree nursery sector in Aceh, both before and after the tsunami. An important step to facilitate the de velopment of viable small-scale tree nurseries in Aceh is the reduction in the number of ‘speculation nurseries’ operating and thriving on land rehabilitation efforts. Nurseries should produce seedlings quickly and store them for limited periods; hence pre-planning is important . To assure sufficient seedlings are available when needed, orders for tree seedlings should be placed about one and a half years ahead of planting. To manage a nursery business efficiently, owners and practitioners need up-to-date information on seedling market demand that can be determined through contacts with government agencies and local organizations.
