Propagating Rare Trees for our Community

Canadensis is responding to an increasing and serious need to address and contribute to the reversal of biodiversity loss among our native trees. We harvest native tree seeds and grow seedlings. Collecting seeds from uncommon native species is one of the focuses. We plant seeds from trees, shrubs, and flowers, nurture them in our nursery, and give them back to the community. We welcome and encourage people from our communities to participate in seed collection and we educate a coach people how to grow seedlings.
