The impact of climate change in the Navajo Nation has threatened one of its native plant species Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis). A Pinyon pine restoration project aims to revegetate the areas lost due to the climate change. For this study pinyon pine cones were collected from five areas around the Navajo Nation. Pinyon pine cones that were green and closed were collected in order to ensure that they had viable seeds that could be used for the restoration project. Brown paper bags were used to store the cones and the tree ID number, coordinates, location, and the diameter of each tree were marked properly. The first area from where the cones were collected was Black Mesa near Kayenta, Arizona and Shonto, Arizona. At this site 40 cones were collected from 125 trees. The second area from where the cones were collected was Spider Rock near Canyon De Chelly in Arizona. Cones were collected from 28 trees at this site. The third site was Kinlechee, Arizona where the cones were collected from 15 trees. The fourth site was Defiance Plateau which is located on the outskirts of Widow Rock, Arizona and cones were collected from 3 trees at this site. The fifth and last site the cones were collected from was the restoration site at Borrego Pass, New Mexico. At this site cones were only collected from 1 tree as the pinyon pine trees at this site were not as abundant as the other collection sites. After the completion of the pinyon pine cone collection, the cones were let to sit in the brown paper bags that were used to store them in until they opened up. Once the cones were opened up, the extraction of each pinyon pine seed from the cones were done and separation of the hollow ones from the viable ones were performed. The seeds from the trees were stored inside properly labelled Ziploc bags. Finally, the seed containing bags were stored in a freezer to keep them viable for the pinyon pine restoration project. This study helped to develop collection of native variety of pinyon pine seeds that will be extremely useful for the pinyon pine restoration project in the Navajo Nation.
