Good news just came out for Ohio's forests! On January 10, the Ohio House of Representatives passed a bill which provides funding for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to create a tree seedling nursery. The nursery will initially supply up to 500,000 tree seedlings annually for three years, increasing capacity afterward, for use on public and private lands.

Replanting and restoring native trees is a crucial strategy in conservation efforts in Ohio to increase forest cover, enhance the quality of our forests and mitigate climate change. However, a nationwide shortage of seedlings, combined with a lack of different species available in tree planting stock, have negatively impacted forest conservation here in Ohio.

Establishing a new statewide nursery with a variety of native species will tackle both sides of this problem. It increases both the availability of tree seedlings and the number of species available for planting to landowners and conservation practitioners.

Join us in celebrating this bright future for Ohio's forests!
