‘Literally growing the future’: volunteers help save Scottish rainforest by collecting 11m seeds

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/51533991

The project fills a significant gap left by commercial or state-sponsored forestry organisations: these locations are too remote or costly for commercial seed collectors to visit, adding to the significance of the specimens Birch’s teams are saving.

Its backers believe the project is the largest citizen-based reforestation programme of its kind.
