Reforestation Volunteer Field Day at Boreal

On Saturday July 20th, join Adventure Scientists for a Volunteer Field Day focused on regenerating our national forests!

Forests in the western United States are being devastated by wildfires, climate change, disease, and other factors, diminishing their ability to regenerate. Reforestation efforts are increasingly crucial, but the United States Forest Service is currently only able to re-plant around 20% of National Forest lands that need reforestation – due to limited availability of native seed. We need more information about where “cone crops” are located, so that seed can be efficiently collected and used to regenerate our forests.

That’s where you come in! As part of Adventure Scientist’s 2024 Reforestation project, we will be hosting a Volunteer Field Day at the Boreal/Woodward Tahoe location. You will be trained to go out and record data about cone crops in the Tahoe National Forest. This critical data will be used for seed collection and reforestation. After being trained at our Field Day, you can also continue to do this important volunteer research work on your own time.
