Thank you to our amazing hosts from the Laurentian Forestry Center and the University of Laval for the amazing tours of forest research labs, greenhouses, and more. This crew is inspired by the facilities and the diversity of ongoing forest research programs!!

I’m so lucky to work with an amazing group of undergraduates passionate about tree conservation, creative, and don’t mind getting their hands a little dirty!! excited for the future with these scientists! @jacobmazza.bsky.social @lucieanderson.bsky.social @krunkg.bsky.social and Raquel! #LuckyPI

Registration deadline is June 2nd! Join us in Happy Valley June 23-27, 2025!! forestgeneticsconference2025.com

Four days, 2400 black ash seedlings later - we are over half way!! #teamash is the epitome of #teamworkdreamwork (and should maybe start their own chorus line) #fieldworkshenanigans #commongarden #congen @krlopicc.bsky.social @diegodelorbe.bsky.social

There’s something about going out to the field and planting a tree that just feels good #scienceforthesoul - admittedly we have a lot of trees!! #blackash #commongarden #dreamteam @krlopicc.bsky.social

Day 2 of the PI taking selfies and photos while everyone works really hard #blackash #commongarden #congen. It’s a little wet out here!!

Day One, Block 1 of 8 complete with about 500 black ash seedlings snug in their permanent home in the ground #happyplanters #happytrees #commongarden #congen. Now for a little back recovery with stretching before round two tomorrow #achyPI

And with that grading was done and field season began! #Ashapalooza at PSU starts this morning putting our baby black ash seedlings in the field. Site #1 of three common garden experiments. Couldn’t imagine a better team to plant with led by the fearless @krlopicc.bsky.social #conservationgenetics

Thank you so much to @hayleytumas.bsky.social for visiting this week, giving an awesome seminar, judging posters, and hanging with @krlopicc.bsky.social and I in the greenhouse to see our burgeoning ash forest!! #ashapalooza #congen

Week 2 of tree planting and the end is in sight for our Pennsylvania common garden of black ash. However, the team travels to New York next week for more…..because #morecommongardens is always more awesome! #congen #treeplanting

Our amazing ‘Team Ash’ has been working hard to overwinter >9000 critically endangered black ash seedlings: building a hoop house, tagging each individual, and monitoring #phenology #growth and more. Next spring these seedlings across multiple environments #conservation #restoration #forestgenetics
