The Game Commission, along with the Wildlife for Everyone Foundation, is now accepting applications for tree seedlings under its Seedlings for Schools Program.  The deadline for applications is March 27.

The Seedlings for Schools program allows students to experience their role as caretaker of their environment while having fun in the outdoor classroom. The program is available to all Pennsylvania schools with children enrolled from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Since 2008, 1.3 million seedlings were distributed statewide to all counties. Seedlings are grown and shipped from the Game Commission’s Howard Nursery located in Centre County.

Along with the seedlings, there is a Teacher’s Guide, Student Work Pages and Planting Directions and Safety Notices available. Click Here for more.

For all the details, visit the Game Commission’s Seedlings for Schools Program webpage.
