Just back from the kick-off meeting of #OptFORESTS, a new #HorizonEU project

Among many other things, we will design & establish a new common garden network including species and provenance mixtures, as well as testing underused tree species and ecologically-marginal & peripheral populations

Here is a summary of the options we are considering. Any suggestions? Also, any other similar initiatives around that would like to link with us?
