Hey #Forests4Climate, coming live from this rehabilitated seed orchard on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Give a listen to hear the story, and how we can use REPLANT & other BIL/IRA funds to rebuild the #reforestation supply chain. @AmericanForests @forestservice
After a few decades in the woods, I would agree. Being a forester has been shown to be one of the happiest, least stressful, and most meaningful careers. Help me spread the word that working in the woods is an incredibly rewarding career choice. https://t.co/EaCVnyIke7
Why are we highlighting the need to increase seed collection and nursery capacity through #SeedSeptember? Because our forests are under threat. The Mosquito Fire came perilously close to decimating trees our team collected cones from just days earlier https://t.co/UIWROsX9f2
@AmericanForets #SeedSeptember continues this week in #California – our Reforestation Manger scouting for Sugar pine, Jeffrey pine & Giant sequoia on the @SequoiaForest. Genetic diversity goals must be met when planning collections to ensure #resiliency in future #reforestation!
Just as the 2 year anniversary of the devastating #CreekFire sneaks by, the #ForkFire starts and I once again find myself evacuated.
To my friends, family, and community members who are struggling - I see you💔
A friendly reminder - forest management IS #publicsafety! #ActNow
Even the biggest 🌲 start small. To #ReforestAmerica we must fix the dire shortage of tree seeds & seedlings across 🇺🇸. Join #SeedSeptember to help make it happen!

I spent the last few years managing one of the largest state nurseries in 🇺🇸. To meet the current reforestation needs we must invest in infrastructure and people to grow baby 🌲to have forests for the future.
#SeedSeptember
As governments, companies and others gear up for mass reforestation, a big question remains: Where exactly will we get billions of seedlings? #SeedSeptember https://t.co/bcuTadvmiU
We can’t reforest America without 🌲and can’t grow 🌲without seeds. We need to support cone collection and promote reforestation as the incredibly rewarding career path that it is.
@AmericanForests thanks for linking one of my favorite articles 😉
#SeedSeptember
We have a crisis on our hands: Seed collecting is a profession on the verge of extinction. It is an extremely technical job and we're running out of people who know its nuances #SeedSeptember https://t.co/pmJ7Ke0QzX
@DyerDialogue with @AmericanForests is starting #SeedSeptember with one of my favorite species due to their size, quirky branching and massive cones. But blister rust can be a challenge, collecting cones from resistant seed sources is crucial for their future.
Cone collection on the @EldoradoNF starts today!
@AmericanForests is collecting rust resistant sugar pine cones to be sent to the @usfs_r5 nursery to have the seeds extracted. We are excited to then use these seeds for responsible #Reforestation in the coming yrs! #ClimateSmart
The right topic for your first tweet can be tough. The critical need for seed to reforest America was an easy decision. Our team @AmericanForests is working hard to find solutions across the US.#SeedSeptember
Every forest starts with a seed. But with reforestation goals at a high, are our nurseries up to the challenge? We're launching #SeedSeptember to highlight the seed shortage crisis, what the problems are and how we're finding solutions. Join us: https://t.co/lWd0QcGgfV
