Forest Restoration Alliance

TheForest Restoration Alliance (FRA), which operates under the auspices of the CALS Foundation at North Carolina State University, supports research on how tree species prevail when attacked by insect pests. As scientists try to understand the differences in species susceptibility and determine if a selection or breeding program can produce resistant trees, ASTF looks to the long-term goal of restoring native trees in the Eastern United States that have succumbed to exotic pests.
