FSM hosted a UMaine study plot on our Nickerson Tree Farm property examining the impacts of extreme climate events on tree regeneration in the Northern Forest. The study has now wrapped up, and FSM is planning to host a tree giveaway day!

Some of the species we’ll be giving away include White Pine, Sugar Maple, Paper Birch, Red Oak, American Chestnut, and a few other deciduous and evergreen trees.

Some of our staff will be on-site. Come say hello and pick up a tree!
