Abstract

The Forest Service developed the national Reforestation, Nurseries, and Genetics Resources (RNGR) program to provide expert support to State, industrial, and private forest and conservation nurseries throughout the country. The RNGR program includes technical assistance to nurseries, research projects (to address seedling and field issues), and Internet sites. RNGR personnel publish periodicals, handbooks, and scientific articles and host annual nursery conferences and workshops. The National Seed Laboratory (NSL) and a Tribal Nursery Emphasis are also integral components of RNGR's mission.
