Hurricane Helene brings new light to the powerful impact of storms on our natural resources.…
Countless trees were destroyed by the hurricane… at a time when there’s a big demand on our forests because of population growth.
So more trees need to be planted to meet the need…while there’s also a growing shortage of seeds.
But we know some dedicated people who are trying to catch up and get ahead of the problem.
As the seed collection process continues… more people from other state government agencies are expected to help.
