Tree seed collection


The ‘Acorn volunteer’ project was set up in 2018 and it is expected to run every year. Over 25,000 acorns were collected in the autumn of 2018 and sent to Castle Howard Nursery for growing on. The intention is that these trees will be used in future planting schemes in the National Park. In future years we hope to diversify and collect tree seed from other tree species.
