I was debating picking up some of those leaf press things from GS World, I completely forgot about birch seed pods.

You look like you've used them a fair amount - how durable are they on terrain? Any issues with rot? Do you use anything to preserve them or just a sealant over top?

No issue with terrain pieces that are 3-4 years old

Super glue + Matte Varnish for the dry leaves that arent in water!

Out of curiosity, where can one get these if there are no birch trees in one's area?

Amazon or eBay / they'll be called like "scale model leaves trains" or something generic but cost $10-15 for a small container

Just search for birch seed leaves.
People sell everything on Ebay.
Only search for 'branded' packages after you've exhausted that option.
