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.
