We make a difference in the lives of forest landowners in the southern United States.

@scissorsrunning Sorry we are just seeing this :/. The species in Quercus petrea, or the Sessile Oak :)!

We were thrilled to take on this project here @NCSU and @NCStateCNR and having the support of @NCState_FER

We typically only work with pines, but extended our expertise to take on a very special hardwood species for a VERY special reason! These trees needed no improvement, just TLC and a grateful hearts tending them for some heroes! We were thrilled to answer the call of duty!

Did you know the McKeand Family Scholarship was started by our previous director Dr. Steve McKeand and his family to support @NCStateCNR students? Talk about #GivingPack

Not only do we improve forests for today's landowners and future generations, we are also growing trees to honor past heroes of the USMC #honoringheroes

Now this is some legislation we can get behind! Did you know improved loblolly pine families sequester more carbon than non-improved trees and are disease resistant among other favorable traits for end product use? #trilliontreesact https://t.co/ie4IX6un9a
