Tree seed collection container for Deciduous & Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Regions, 2012

A poster detailing tree flowering and seed dispersal for the Deciduous & Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest regions, as well as the approximate time of seed dispersal for each tree species found in these regions. The poster can be folded into a small container to hold seeds. While folded, the information remains legible.

A white poster with information plotted on a square-shaped timeline for when Deciduous and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region trees are in seed. In the middle is a circular diagram generally illustrating when trees are flowering and dispersing seeds during the year, with a circular image of a tulip tree sapling in the middle. A detail of a white poster with information plotted on a square-shaped timeline for when Deciduous and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region trees are in seed. The trees listed for May through July are legible in this detail shot.
The white poster has been folded into a square paper container for holding seeds. All the elements from the poster are still legible, including the timeline, which now forms a line around the inside of the container, and the circular diagram and tulip tree sapling on the bottom. The container sits on a flat white surface speckled with grey and black.
