During each rotation of a planted forest, landowners have a single opportunity to choose the appropriate genetics for their long-term investment. We encourage forest landowners to plant the best genetic quality seedlings possible. The benefits from establishing highly productive families, in combination with good silvicultural practices, will result in large financial returns.
An extensive literature review was conducted, and an expert panel was convened to identify and rank behaviors that could reduce the risks of AIS spread by people.
