Helicopter seeds are actually the fruit of maple trees. Do you know what they look like when they are growing? They look like a little ball. Did you know they grow in a bunch? When they are ripe they fall off the tree, spin around and around like a helicopter and sometimes they land on plants as well as the ground. On the Allen Brook Nature trail you can find helicopter seeds at the end of the hard wood forest and a little bit past the hard wood forest.
