Forest Regeneration

Planting of seedlings to restore, reforest, and supplement natural regeneration, is likely to continue to increase in importance in our region as a management strategy to ensure forest health and productivity now and in the future. As any experienced forester or landowner will attest, choosing the appropriate seed sources is extremely important. A seed source that is genetically well adapted to the planting site’s climate and environmental conditions is critical to ensure planting success and future forest productivity.
