He’ll share some tips and growing information from 25 plus years of working with trees. Learn the techniques for collecting and storing wild seeds and the simple tricks to encourage those seeds to germinate successfully. Learn interesting facts about trees and plant biology along the way. Each participant will go home with a cutting of their own to grow and plant.

Bradford Pear "Bounty" Program
FREE pollinator-friendly native tree offered as reward for removing invasive pear on your property
Bradford pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) escaped cultivation, forming dense thickets that displace native plants and the pollinators and other wildlife that depend on them. It is now illegal to sell, grow, or plant Bradford pear trees in Ohio. To stop the spread of this harmful invasive plant, Pollinator Pathway launched a Bradford pear "bounty" program which offers a voucher toward a pollinator-friendly native tree for each invasive Bradford tree removed by property owners in Licking County.
