@thetreecouncil.bsky.socialAfter our Seed Gathering Season Masterclass last week, we asked Jon, our Director of Science, Research and Trees, to get creative with his tree seed display.
Please do send us your creative seed gathering displays! #SeedGatheringSeason
@thetreecouncil.bsky.socialPictured are oak trees grown by our Growing Together Programme Manager, Katie and Midland hawthorn trees grown by our Community Planting Projects Senior Manager, Adam!
@thetreecouncil.bsky.socialAs the days grow shorter and temperatures begin to drop, trees become even more important for wildlife. These five fantastic trees are just some of the autumn favourites for nature. #SeedGatheringSeason
@tcvnational.bsky.socialEvery seed has the potential to shape a greener future. 🌱
