What is it?
Here are two views of an artifact that the PAFFMA acquired for the Discovery Center. Can you guess what it is?
It is a seed storage jar that was in use at a forest seedling nursery, either Greenwood Furnace or Mont Alto. It holds thirteen gallons. Certainly a glass container would help protect seeds from the every-present rodents!
The PAFFMA board met at Greenwood Furnace State Park on Tuesday 9/18. According to the park historian there are many more forestry artifacts left over from the nursery operation at the site. More of them will be coming to the Discovery Center.
