The experimental trees will help find out the best places to plant trees and the seeds gathered will start a Wisqoq orchard. Each year people will be able to collect seeds from the orchard to raise seedlings for planting more trees all over Nova Scotia.

The seedlings are being raised by Scott and Stewart Forestry Consultants Ltd. at their tree nursery in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. These trees will be planted with tree tubes to protect them from deer browsing so ensure they have every opportunity to grow. Keep an eye out for planting activities happening in your Community!
