Tree Seed Collecting: Step One for Wisconsin’s Future Forests
Saturday, Aug. 26, 10 a.m. – noon
McGovern Park, 4500 W. Custer Ave., Milwaukee

Did you know that many of the millions of seeds the Department of Natural Resources needs to help grow Wisconsin’s future forests come from people like you, scrounging acorns and maple helicopters to send to the state nursery? Join us as we take a walk around McGovern Park and learn how to find, collect, store, ship or grow seeds. We'll focus on oak trees but also discuss other kinds of trees found in the park. Register here.
