After learning hands-on about pplanting Douglas-fir seedlings, students took them home to plant with their families, as well as an instruction cards with information about the state tree and Oregon’s forests.
Landowners needed help learning about reforestation and getting the resources they needed, and there was a critical need for tree seedlings to replace the trees lost to the fires, especially for private landowners who have less access to large-scale nurseries.
