Small seedlot extractory Dorena Tree improvement center

In June, 1980, construction was completed on a new seed plant at Dorena Tree Improvement Center. The main function of the building is to extract, process, and store all tree improvement seed for Region 6. The new building is 60'x 140' with 8400 square feet of floor space, and it was built at a cost of approximately $520,000. The major advantages that this building has over our previous facility is that we have more space for seed processing and cone storage. Operations that have previously been compressed in small spaces or divided into different buildings are now integrated into one building and arranged to provide an efficient flow of work. Dust and debris are removed from the processing area, and they are not allowed to build up and cause health, fire, and explosion hazards.
