Seed Processing, Collecting and Storage

Harvesting, processing, and storing seeds are all vital components of preserving tree species. For those with a love of nature, collecting and storing the seeds of different trees can be a fascinating and rewarding experience. There's nothing more satisfying than watching a small seed grow into a majestic tree! From harvesting to planting, processing the seeds is an important step that requires careful preparation.

The specimens need to be sorted by size and quality in order to ensure only the best ones make it into storage, away from any potential threats or elements that could damage them. To preserve the greatest diversity of tree species, proper seed collection processes must be followed. The process may be long and tedious but ultimately it will help us protect our forests for generations to come.
