Projects

Tree breeding is long term, expensive work and we partner with many organisations to achieve our goals. Our core work is with seven important timber species, but we also work on other projects to address tree health, forest adaptation and resilience. All our projects are underpinned by the use of Forest Genetic Resources, so we have created an interactive platform that brings together initiatives and partners using forest genetics resources for multiple purposes, such as timber production, seed sourcing and long term conservation of species – the UK Forest Genetics Resources website.
