Summary
Thank you U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities and USDA Forest Service National Partnership Office for your support of our work with Green Diamond Resource Company, Collins, Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, Blue Forest, and others. Together we are developing a roadmap for #SeedSecurity for all land ownerships in the landscapes of South Central Oregon where high-severity wildfire has recently hit hard, killing the vast majority of the trees across an area of forest 10x the size of Washington, DC. After all this fire, it turns out that the Fremont-Winema National Forest does not have nearly enough seed to reforest the acres in need. The good news is that this year American Forests will be taking advantage of the largest cone crop that the region has seen in decades! But, the region will see more fire in coming years, and we also need to account for a shift in seed source suitability due to climate change.
