| |  | Geoffrey, don't miss out on a FREE webinar next week. Plus, here’s what else that's available on ForestEd.org. | | FREE WEBINAR | Sponsored by Western Forestry and Conservation Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Center for Reforestation, Nurseries and Genetic Resources |  | Assisted Migration: Forestry in the Future Under a Changing Climate | | 1.0 CFE | Working Group Webinar | Assisted migration has been extensively researched as an approach to minimize the expected negative impacts of climate change on the health, productivity, and ecosystem services of future forests. The local seed source may no longer be adapted or optimal to meet land management objectives, and this issue may be one of the most important challenges foresters will need to deal with in the coming years.
Fortunately, many people study the issue and can provide tools to land managers to make the best choice under the available data.
This webinar is composed of two presentations, followed by a Q&A/discussion session. The speakers are Dr. Brian Palik (Forest Ecologist, US Forest Service, Northern Research Station) and Dr. Greg O’Neill (Forest Geneticist, British Columbia Forest Service, Canada).
Join SAF’s Forest Health & Genetics Working Group on March 23 at 1 p.m. ET for a live webinar that dives into this topic.
