The NWH Alder Seedling Program

The 2025 NWH Alder Seedling Program

Requests Open September 16th

It’s that time of year again—time to grow! Following the tremendous success of last year’s Alder Seedling Program, where we distributed 35,000 seedlings to small landowners across the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, we’re excited to announce the launch of the 2025 program.

How to Get Involved

Starting 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

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.

For Participants

If you have any questions or require clarification about the number of seedlings allocated to you, please feel free to reach out to us. Your involvement and enthusiasm for the Alder Seedling Program are invaluable. We look forward to your continued support in the coming years!
