Growing Larix for @OptFORESTS common garden trials @LukeFinland. So far so good!

🌳 We're starting the 3rd Annual Meeting of #OptFORESTS in wonderful #Prague! It's a good time to meet up with more than 50 consortium colleagues, share what we have achieved so far in the last 2 years, and learn more about the next project steps! Stay tuned! #HorizonEU

@OptFORESTS oaks and lindens coming along. Lehmusta ja tammia. Metsähiiri otti tuoreista kylvöksistä osansa, mutta ongelma saatiin ratkaistua. Keväänvihreää. 👍

📸 Family photo with the whole #OptFORESTS consortium at the unbeatable @CZUvPraze campus! We're glad to ditch the screens and have the opportunity to network in person! #HorizonEU 🌳🇪🇺

Each pine tree in #Sofronka tells a story. We're exploring the breathtaking diversity of over 60 pine species at this amazing Arboretum! 🌲 #OptFORESTS #HorizonEU

From the Bolevec Ponds to the towering pines, today's field trip at Sofronka Arboretum in #Plzen is all about connecting with nature! Excited to deepen our understanding of global #pine tree species in this Czech provenance test field 🌍🌲 #OptFORESTS #HorizonEU

🌳🌲 We bid farewell to an intense week in Czech Republic of working sessions, meetings, networking... and also of fruitful time together! #OptFORESTS looks forward to next year with ambition and a lot of exciting outcomes to spread! #HorizonEU #forestgenetics #climatechange

🌱 Exciting scientific talks at the #OptFORESTS Annual Meeting! Ophélie Ronce (@isemevol) delves into the topic of assisted gene flow to facilitate local tree adaptation to #ClimateChange. What is the impact for conservation biology? Engaging discussions taking place! #HorizonEU

@thomasgeorgesim @andyheald @OptFORESTS Did you know about that, @tonythorne007?

📢 The day doesn't stop here! This afternoon we're hosting parallel sessions offering small #knowledge pills: from how to include #genetic aspects on silvicultural decisions through in-field training to best practices to foster dialogue with key stakeholders! 👩‍💻🌱#HorizonEU

@EUFORGEN @IcelandicForest @FORGENIUS_EU @OptFORESTS @NordGen @ForestryFuture @Michele_Bozzano @AMFarsakoglou @FORESTEUROPE @europeanforest @EUClimateAction @MariRusanen Yo creo que hay que empezar a mezclar orígenes y relativizar la virtud de lo "local" . Si algo intuímos en este momento es que la heterogeneidad es la mejor vía para la adaptación. En mi opinión "pureza genética, no"

Feeling inspired this #WorldEnvironmentDay🍃 after the EU #AgriResearch conference, where we discussed: 🔽#sustainable forest management with @ForwardsEU @eco2adapt @OptFORESTS 🔽#biodiversity and #climate R&I needs 🔽Opportunities in rural areas Now, off to the #EUGreenWeek!🇪🇺

@OptFORESTS @europeanforest @EUgreenresearch @HorizonMagEU @NordGen @EUFORGEN @FORGENIUS_EU @ForestryFuture @UCPH_Research @SoyForestal @ForestFinland Research to prepare us for the future is vital! Climate change has a huge impact on forests and thus also on the functioning of the huge timber industry. 🌳

Suomalaiset ja tanskalaiset männyt idätystestissä. Testing the temperature response of 🇫🇮 and 🇩🇰 Pinus sylvestris seeds. Ongoing work of @OptFORESTS.

Kokeita käynnistyy niin että heikompia hirvittää. @OptFORESTS experiments with Pinus, Qercus and Larix at full speed @LukeFinland research nursery.

The first sessile oak seedling of the spring has emerged on the nursery! This plant is of Slovenian provenance, but we're growing oaks from provenances across Europe. These will be planted at two UK sites as part of a wider European network of common gardens @OptFORESTS🌳🌲🧬

📰🌳Stay up to date with the latest projects focussing on forest genetic resources! @EUgreenresearch 🇪🇺 EU-funded projects @FORGENIUS_EU and @OptFORESTS are contributing to some of the goals in #EUFORGEN! 📬Read our April's newsletter & find out how 👇 https://t.co/m2CXRIPuNl

📰The #HorizonEU project @OptFORESTS has just published a new #SeedCollection story! Follow them to stay updated on how their teams across Europe are contributing to researching forest resilience in the face of #climate challenges! 🌳🌡️

@ImogenForster2 @thomasgeorgesim @andyheald @OptFORESTS Yes, it’s the only kind of oak you see in Slovenia but it’s only 6% of the total wood stock as the forests are all evergreen.
