Join our incredible volunteers as they sow whitebark pine seeds at Forest Service’s Coeur d’Alene nursery!

These seeds, from the Kootenai and Idaho Panhandle National Forests will germinate in approximately two weeks and will grow in the Forest Service greenhouse for two years before being transplanted in the wild. 🌲

🌲Hear from the incredible volunteers that helped plant over 26,000 whitebark pine seeds 🌲

The WPEF team returned to the Coeur d’Alene nursery to help plant whitebark pine seeds— and even got to check in on last year’s seedlings, which are thriving! The seeds our WPEF volunteers planted will germinate in approximately two weeks and continue to grow in the Forest Service greenhouse for two years before being transplanted into the wild.

✨Huge thanks to all of volunteers and the nursery staff!
