🌱 Do you work with forest reproductive material #FRM?
Share your experience in a short survey to help strengthen provenance information and improve FRM traceability across Europe.
Your input supports resilient forests and high-quality regeneration. 👉 Take part: www.optforests.eu/news-and-med...
🌲 Less needles, more leaves? Our new #OptFORESTS blog by Simone Bianchi (@luke.fi) explores how increasing broadleaves like birch could boost resilience, biodiversity & carbon storage in Nordic forests.

How do we avoid planting forests that fail in future climates?🌱
By using diverse, well-adapted seed sources. #OptFORESTS supports low-input breeding to build forests that can cope with uncertainty.🌳
