Description
Jerry Barnes (Cottage Grove, OR), owner of Tree Improvement Enterprises, Inc., discusses his company’s New Zealand conifer seed orchard. New Zealand is an excellent location for the establishment of a conifer seed orchard (designed to produce seed for forestation purposes) because the country’s climate is similar to that of the Pacific Northwest. This genetically superior seed is used throughout the world including New Zealand, the Pacific Northwest, Europe, South America and Africa.

Second guest, Carol Sperling (Mosca, CO), Chief of Interpretation with Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, discusses this diverse landscape consisting of massive 750 foot sand dunes, alpine tundra, forests, grasslands, and lush wetlands. Creating a unique wilderness, water is the lifeblood of the “sand dunes” system which includes mountain watersheds and alpine lakes. For additional information, please visit www.nps.gov/grsa.
