International Nursery and Reforestation Exchanges

I have recently returned from an exciting trip to central Siberia that was part of a Forest Service scientific exchange with a series of institutes of the Russian Academy of Science.

Their nursery technology is developing but could use substantial infusions of capital and expertise to optimize effectiveness.
