Climate change is exacerbating stressors on New Mexico's ponderosa pine forests, necessitating effective reforestation strategies. The Target Plant Concept, emphasizing meticulous planning and collaboration, is crucial for successful reforestation, addressing site-specific limitations and optimizing seedling survival. The newly established New Mexico Reforestation Center (NMRC) integrates seed collection, nursery production, and planting operations to meet this challenge, requiring substantial seed collection and seedling production. To achieve this, the NMRC employs an "all-hands-on-deck" approach, fostering partnerships to enhance reforestation capacity, improve seedling quality, and refine planting practices, ultimately aiming to restore millions of acres of burned forests across New Mexico.
