The Forest Regeneration and Restoration Laboratory research explores the development of forest tree species during juvenile stages to promote forest regeneration and restoration. The team addresses two major themes: seedling quality and planting; and restoration of threatened forest tree species. This photo gallery helps give you an overview of that research along with travel and graduate students.
