The WDNR Reforestation Program continues to purchase seed from private collectors. Over the years, seedling demands have changed; thus, so does the need for seed. In 2018, WDNR will be purchasing seeds for the following species: butternut, cherry- black and choke, balsam fir, hackberry, American hazelnut, eastern hemlock, hickory- bitternut & shagbark, sugar (hard) maple, oak- bur, red, southern pin, swamp white, and white, red pine, American plum, spruce- black and white, tamarack, and black walnut.
Please read the following information carefully to understand changes in 2018.
- 2018 Seed Collector’s Newsletter (contains prices, seed requirements, and nursery contact information)
- WDNR’s Seed Collecting webpage
Before collecting any seed, please contact the nursery first to ensure purchasing is still open for species you intend to collect.
Nursery staff can assist with species identification. If you have any questions, call the nursery before you begin to collect seed!
