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). We will rely on content from the Woody Plant Seed Manual, Seeds of Ontario Trees and Shrubs, and Field Guide to Native Oak species of eastern North America. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will also provide a brief update and additional information about NY state reforestation efforts.
