Got Seeds? Strengthening the Reforestation Pipeline in the Western United States

Healthy forests are critically important for mitigating the effects of climate change, reducing biodiversity loss, and protecting our water resources. Decades of chronic underfunding combined with the worsening impacts of climate change and wildfire have increased the need for reforestation across the Western United States. This article highlights the challenges impacting tree-seed availability and suggests opportunities for strengthening the tree-seed supply chain to meet reforestation goals in an era of climate change. This paper was presented at The Reforestation Pipeline in the Western United States–Joint Annual Meeting of the Western Forest and Conservation Nursery Association, the Intertribal Nursery Council, and the Intermountain Container Seedling Growers Association (Missoula, MT, September 27–29, 2022).
