Tree Planters' Notes celebrates its 75th anniversary with some retrospectives from retired Forest Service nursery specialists. It also includes articles on restoring landscapes for private landowners through partnerships, how trees in the Pacific Northwest respond to different stock type sizes, creating an in-school nursery program for technical education, using social media to generate interest in planting and nurseries, and a simple strategy to protect seedlings from inclement weather.

This biannual publication provides information about nurseries and nursery production, including seed sourcing, seedling care, and transplanting seedlings for reforestation and related activities. The spring 2024 issue includes articles about zinc deficiencies, seed transfer (loblolly pine, red spruce, and black cherry), increasing the scale of nursery production, and the impacts of climate change on nurseries.

As the climate warms, suitable habitat for many tree species is shifting northward. Assisted migration is a process that helps establish native trees in areas that are or will be suitable habitat in the future. This handbook compiles guidance for transferring seeds and seedlings to improve nurseries' efforts in restoration, reforestation, and afforestation.
