Help Collect Ash Seeds With the Emerald Ash Borer threatening to wipe out all species of ash tree in the northern United States, a national project has begun to collect ash seeds from different populations of ashes. The Ash Conservation Project (ACP) hopes new stands of ash can be planted using these seeds, should all native ash be wiped out by the borer. Prime time for collecting ash seeds is during the fall in September and early October. If you have ash trees on your property and would like to help collect seeds for this project, visit the ACP website. |
