🌲 thanks for being such great partners Adventure Scientists!
This summer, we’ve been asking volunteers to visit national forests and scout for closed female cones as part of our Reforestation project. Curious to know what happens once we get your surveys of closed female cones? 🧐 Swipe to see! 🧗♀️Our partners at Mast Reforestation climb those trees and collect the cones - sometimes to astounding heights! The cones are then processed to collect the seeds inside them and used to grow new seedlings at a nursery. Once the seedlings reach maturity, they’re planted in forests that need more trees. Want to help reforestation experts know which trees to climb? There’s still time to get involved! We have about a week left of the project and some great prizes in store. Everyone who submits 20 surveys will receive a $100 REI gift card, and the volunteers from California and Montana who collect the most surveys (50 minimum) will win a pair of custom Adventure Scientists Peak Skis! 🔗 Check the link to learn more and sign up. https://lnkd.in/gJi9H8xS 📸 Mast Reforestation
