The BLM OR-WA is offering this grant to fund a critical study focused on enhancing the drought resilience of Douglas-fir trees in western Oregon. This grant is for the purpose of investigating the ability of elite Douglas-fir families, selected from breeding units, to withstand drought conditions and monitor their growth. The primary objective is to improve the quality of reforestation materials, ensuring more robust and adaptable trees for future landscapes. Information gained will significantly augment ongoing research into assisted migration strategies and the impacts of global warming on forest ecosystems, providing vital data for sustainable forest management.
