How to Get Involved

NWH Alder Seedling Pickup Event - March 2024

As of September 16th, requests for seedlings are officially open. We anticipate high demand, so early submissions are encouraged to secure your share. Each participant can request up to 20 boxes, which equates to 2,400 seedlings.

The next batch of seedlings will be ready for pick-up in Spring 2025. To safeguard the seedlings’ survival, we’re providing them as container stock instead of bare root, making them more resistant to frost.

We’re looking forward to seeing these trees take root and flourish on your land!

The Importance of Alder

Why the Alder Seedling Program Matters

Alder trees are essential to forest health, enriching nutrient-poor soils by fixing nitrogen and providing vital forage and habitat for wildlife, which enhances biodiversity. Despite their importance, Alders are often overshadowed by more commercially popular softwoods like Douglas fir, leading to their decline. By participating in the Alder Seedling Program, you help restore and sustain these ecological powerhouses, ensuring their continued benefit to our forests for generations to come.
