Be part of National Indigenous History month. Help increase our green canopy. Plant a native tree seedling, care for it well and it will become a sapling; one day our children and their children will collect seeds from a mature native tree and continue the work!

GROW NATIVE!! Shown here are photos of the leaf and seed “keys” of the non-native Norway Maple. They can be confused with those of the native red and silver maples so look carefully before you collect seeds to grow your seedlings.
