FFACCTS Webinar: Supporting climate adaptation during reforestation with the Experimental Network for Assisted Migration and Establishment Silviculture (ENAMES)

Assisted population migration during reforestation is a promising strategy for climate adaptation, but several barriers exist to its operational use. The Experimental Network for Assisted Migration and Establishment Silviculture (ENAMES) is being established to address these barriers including issues with operational implementation, improved guidance on seed source selection, and identification of practices needed for successful reforestation. ENAMES incorporates a series of treatments to determine which species and genotypes are best suited for future climates and the silvicultural practices needed for establishment success and long-term forest resilience. This webinar will provide an overview of assisted population migration, details on the ENAMES design and its objectives, and approaches being developed to ensure that project findings are useful for forest managers.
