We Grow Trees Challenge

WGTpic

Let’s grow trees, Ontario Tech! This Fall, challenge yourself to grow an oak tree from seed - or should we say, from acorn.

Collect acorns, overwinter them, grow oak saplings, and get the opportunity to plant them at the campus farm in Spring 2025. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and learn about how trees grow.

Register for the challenge to receive your supplies. Deadline to register is Sept 30.

Supplies provided: sawdust, baggie, pot (if needed), soil and of course instructions. You will need to provide the acorn(s).
