Transfer Guideline: Tool
Western Canada
The primary objective of this project is to improve provincial seed transfer policy and operational forest management response to climate change by: comparing the adaptive portfolio of operational seedlots from tree breeding programs and seed orchards to the climatic distribution and landscape genomics of natural populations; developing strategies for operational seed transfer that will reduce the risk of loss of forest productivity and health due to maladaptation in planted forests; evaluating ecological, economic, social, and legal implications of these results for forest-dependent communities and ecosystems.
