Myself and colleagues have had the unique opportunity to get to work with American Chestnut as an assisted migration species. Read our most recent article to learn how it is fairing as a restoration and adaptation planting!

A new #Synthesis & Integration paper in our #ClimateEcology track:

Forest-assisted migration is controversial and not (yet) widely used in #ForestManagement; a new paper shares case studies of its adoption

I pocket acorns as I walk. I recently emptied the contents of my coat and the autumnal diversity is just 😮‍💨🤌

Tune in next Wednesday to our upcoming fall webinar in which Caitlin Littlefield & John Scanlon suggest that the lens of climate change adaptation may help to achieve wildlife habitat goals and increase the resilience of forests and carbon stores: https://t.co/f29QAHjpsi

Love seeing the work our lab conducts on #climatechange and #assistedmigration getting recognition. It's a real treat getting to work with these planted seedlings at the Second College Grant

Major Lorax moment for me this morning, speaking for the trees during @pattrn on the @weatherchannel. A huge thank you to @StephanieAbrams and @JordanSteele for sharing our recent work on hotter-drought and #WhatKillsTrees with their viewers!

Lichens have absolutely no business being this fabulous. Who do those scarlet-topped sassy stalks think they are?!

Such a treat getting to see active management geared towards restoring structural complexity and habitat at Silvio O. Conte
