They're going to freeze these little baby trees? Yeah, it's so that they can keep the trees in storage until the ground is like ready to plant.

But yeah, basically. What are these seedling popsicles for? Okay, so you already know that forests are really important for the ecosystem, right?

Yeah, right. But they're in danger due to things like over-harvesting and increasing wildfires. So that's why we need reforestation. replanting new forests to replace the old ones. So Emily, these seedling popsicles are part of a reforestation master plan that the Forest Service is carrying out across the West Coast.

It's a plan that looks into the future to help our forests survive increased heat, changing weather patterns, and other potential threats that they might face.

Yeah, I guess compared to China, it is relatively new. But if you do the math, we've been replanting trees for easily more than a century.

But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a simple process.

This is Rob Slaysack. He's a researcher with the U.S. Forest Service. And he says because growing tree seedlings is so complicated, foresters try to really maximize the seedlings' chance of survival.
