The Western Forest Tree Seed Council
The Western Forest Tree Seed Council is a member council of the Western Reforestation Coordinating Committee of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association. It is organized to solve problems concerning tree seeds among organizations and individuals in the eleven Western States and British Columbia, and represents western forestry interests in matters of tree seeds. The Council Charter, adopted in 1965, allows that any person actively engaged in tree seed matters shall be a member in good standing with full privileges. Members meet periodically to discuss problems of common interest, to exchange scientific information and to undertake cooperative projects that will enhance reforestation practices. The Council came into being as the Northwest Forest Tree Seed Committee in 1953 in Corvallis, Oregon. A name change to the Western Forest Tree Seed Council reflected its affiliation with the Western Forestry and Conservation Association and its geographic scope encompassing the western United States and Canada. While its objectives have broadened over the past 27 years, the Council continues to actively encourage, promote and participate in seed studies and the reporting of seed research. Space for an annual Seed Council report is provided in the proceedings of the Western Reforestation Coordinating Committee. The Committee and the parent Association serve as forums in which the Council can air important seed concerns before larger audiences. The Association has adopted several resolutions from the Seed Council and has also provided much needed assistance in reproducing and distributing several Council publications.
