Forestry: Planting the forest of the future

While conservation biologists debate whether to move organisms threatened by the warming climate, one forester in British Columbia is already doing it. Emma Marris reports.

At a research station in the Okanagan valley in British Columbia, a few kilometres outside the town of Vernon, orderly rows of trees run alongside the road. Many of the conifers stand tall and full, producing seeds destined for plantations around the province.
