Join us for an Ash Seed Saving workshop focused on preserving our native ash trees in the face of the invasive emerald ash borer. Ash trees are an ecologically and culturally important tree species here in Maine, and they are facing a very serious threat. This program will begin with an indoor session covering the importance of ash seed preservation, seed biology, and best practices for ensuring long term viability and ways in which you can contribute to citizen science. We’ll then head outdoors to explore the tools and techniques needed for proper seed collecting. This event will offer hope and tangible steps YOU can take for the future of this species and our forests!
Admission is FREE but registration is required.
Light refreshments will be provided. Event is limited to 25 participants.
Please register on our website no later than Monday, September 15, so we know how many to expect and can contact you in case of cancelation.
