The U S Forest Service will hold a Tree Seed Collection Workshop for New York state and the Northeast webinar on September 23rd at 10 am EDT
This 2-hour workshop will focus on seed collection strategies for these major tree species groups: large-seeded hardwoods (red oak, white oak, hickory), small-seeded hardwoods (red/sugar maple, black cherry), and conifers (eastern white pine, white spruce).

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will also provide a brief update and additional information about NY state reforestation efforts.
