Former Flathead National Forest silviculturist Melissa Jenkins demonstrates the proper way to plant a whitebark pine seedling to ensure its best chance of survival at Whitefish Mountain Resort June 24, 2021, in Whitefish, Mont. Seeds for the pine trees were gathered at the resort in 2014, frozen at a seed bank for some years before being grown at a U.S. Forest Service nursery in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The seedlings that are being planted are 3 years old. (Whitney England/Whitefish Pilot via AP)
