The Right Seedling for Reforestation: Success, Partners, and Policy
Forest regeneration in a changing climate, Part 2
November 9, 2022 | 11am–12:30pm MST
Co-hosted by Rocky Mountain Research Station and Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes
Join us for an upcoming land-manager-focused series of LIGHTNING TALKS during this webinar dedicated to forest regeneration, climate change and Indigenous knowledge exchange in the West. Short science presentations will highlight how climate impacts different genotypes and planting methods for regeneration following fire and forest treatments plus considerations and tools for reforestation. Discussion and Q&A during this session will facilitate information exchange between scientists and managers.
