Growing Trees
We grow native trees and shrubs that would look great in any landscape.
Western Pennsylvania has an incredible selection of native trees, many of which can be found in the forest surrounding our nursery. We collect seeds from these trees and grow them until they are ready to be planted into new Patches of local forest.
Join us if you are interested in learning how to grow native trees by signing up for volunteer days at the nursery or attending one of our informative events.
Our first round of trees will be available for sale, fall 2025.
Programs & Events
Reforest Our Future is dedicated to providing informative programs that are sure to bring you and your family closer to nature. Between the Forest Exploration Center and 2,000 beautiful acres of Brady’s Run Park that surrounds it, there is plenty to see and experience at our fun-filled events.
Become empowered by plants on Tree ID Hikes and Native Plant Landscaping workshops and don’t forget to sign up your kids this summer to become Forest Explorers.
Meet like-minded people and have a good time in the great outdoors!
Volunteering
All hands on deck for restoring our forest. There is plenty to do and we sure could use a hand starting seeds and caring for plants at our nursery. The pots-abilities are endless! Whether you need service hours or just feel like getting your hands dirty, join our growing team of ROF volunteers.
