Addressing Assisted Migration in Research and Practice: A Rooted in Research Webinar Series — Operationalizing Assisted Migration

October 29 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am PDT

Operationalizing Assisted Migration
Putting plans into practice often comes results in unexpected challenges and circumstances. This set of presentations will showcase real examples of implementing assisted migration under a variety of circumstances, covering what needed to be considered and what was learned in the process.
Presenters:
  • Bryce Adams, Northern Research Station
  • Marcella Windmuller-Campione, University of Minnesota

As the climate changes, some trees may no longer thrive and regenerate in their current locations, which in turn may reduce the ecosystem goods and services they produce. Assisted migration is emerging as promising strategy to maintain forests in the future. Assisted migration is complex and involves many factors, including tree seed sourcing, field conditions, and cultural values.

Addressing Assisted Migration in Research and Practice is a four-part webinar series, hosted by NRS, NIACS and the USDA Northeast and Northern Forests Climate Hubs, that explores the research, planning, and implementation of assisted migration.

Presentations and panel discussions by scientists and natural resource professionals will share recent assisted migration research while showcasing success stories and confronting challenges of this innovative forest management practice. Webinars will consist of presentations or panel discussions followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
