About

The organization conducts basic and applied research, in part using its state-of-the-art greenhouse facility in western New York state. The greenhouse facility has housed a multi-year project involving oak seedlings and a long term project that is examining the tradeoffs between growth and freezing tolerance in North American willow species; these projects have led to the publication papers in the peer-reviewed literature. A long-term study involving many species of oaks is currently underway. The organization has also worked in the area of providing information to help the public understand issues of environmental importance.
