Growing Trees…Growing Minds

Children from the YMCA Day Camp play “chicken” with the sprinkler system at UNBC’s Enhanced Forestry Lab while learning about growing trees in nurseries. ALRF seedlings provide a great learning opportunity indoors and out!

Two Weeks and Growing

Black spruce seedlings in UNBC’s Enhanced Forestry Lab grow vigourously in the greenhouse.  After two weeks they are  about 2 cm high and changing daily. Each plug was planted with two seeds and shortly after this picture was taken, the greenhouse curators dilgently thinned thousands of trees, leaving the healthiest and strongest to keep growing.
