In 1971 United State Forest Service Chief Edward Cliff convinced former smoke jumper turned astronaut Stuart Roosa to take tree seeds on his trip to the moon on Apollo 14. The seeds returned to Earth safely and were later germinated and planted around the country for the bicentennial celebration of America.

David William works for NASA archiving and preserving Apollo mission data. He became interested in the Moon Trees and built a database to list the locations of Moon Trees.Photos taken from David’s website. The database can be found here.
