Quality cone collection

Good forest management depends on the fast reforestation of logged areas with the right species of seedlings that are vigorous and healthy and from the proper area of location. To produce vigorous healthy seed and seedlings, proper quality cone collection and handling is a must.

To accomplish the job, proper planning and good existing seed bank records are needed.
