The Maryland Forest Service is collecting Serviceberry seeds as part of the Maryland 5 Million Tree Initiative to grow seedlings for future plantings. The Maryland State Tree Nursery will accept whole berries, so no processing is needed after collecting them from the tree/shrubs.
Everyone is welcome! No prior experience is needed and we’ll provide all of the materials! We recommend wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty - serviceberries can stain clothes!
Location: North Hagerstown Post Office, 12912 Conamar Dr, Hagerstown, MD 21742
Friday 6/19 5-6:30pm
Let us know if you would like to help with the collection. The schedule may change based on weather and condition of the berries.
After collecting serviceberries, join us for a pint at Upper Stem Brewery around 6:30pm! Beer and food truck at 20150 Leitersburg Pike, Hagerstown, MD 21742! Come hang out with native plant loving volunteers!
