We collect seeds from local forest species in the Central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and produce plants for forest restoration purposes. Specializing in Picea rubens, Red Spruce, and Abies balsamea, Canaan Valley Balsam Fir. We also produce a variety of associated high elevation forest species.
Red Spruce Forests once covered over one million acres of the Central Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. Logging and resource extraction have reduced that acreage by over 90% with less than 100,000 acres of Spruce forests remaining in scattered, fragmented "Spruce Islands." There is currently a coordinated effort underway to restore

These spruce have been grown from a mixture of West Virginia sourced seed, from several different natural stands. The locations range from Cranesville Swamp in the north, to Black Mountain in the south, including sources from Spruce Knob, Canaan Valley, and others. The genetic diversity contained in this mix allows for the greatest resiliency to climate change.
