SAP-Ne, APCAW, and partners are hosting two ash seed collection trainings to help participants identify and collect ash seeds and preserve ash populations threatened by the invasive emerald ash borer. Participants will use the Ash Seed Collection Manual developed by the APCAW lab.<\/p>\n

This second session is open to the public and will be held at the University of Maine Forest in Old Town, Maine. A first training, held on August 31, is reserved for Tribal members and Tribal employees on Penobscot Nation lands.<\/p>\n
