The Wildlife For Everyone Foundation and the Game Commission's Howard Nursery announced schools can start applying for the Seedlings For Schools Program on January 30.  The deadline for applications is March 31.

The Game Commission provides enough seedlings for each student to take a seedling home to plant. This year's seedling choices are white spruce or silky dogwood.

Since the seedlings for schools initiative began in 2008, 1.8 million seedlings have been dispersed statewide to all counties of the Commonwealth.

Seedlings are grown and shipped from the Game Commission’s Howard Nursery located in Centre County, Pennsylvania.

The Seedlings for Schools program provide students the experience as caretaker of the environment while having fun in the outdoor classroom.
