Our Mission: To ensure that genetic diversity is maintained as the foundation of a resilient forested landscape in Ontario.
The Forest Gene Conservation Association (FGCA) is a not for profit organization that has a vision of a genetically diverse, resilient forested landscape that supports life and a healthy economy.
At the core of our strategy is a commitment to working collaboratively with partners to promote and implement effective gene conservation measures. We are deeply aware that the challenges facing our forests are multifaceted, and the solutions require collaborative action and effective long-term thinking.
The FGCA focuses on the following key pillars with a consistent approach to educate and advocate for policies and practices that support forest genetics:
- Species Recovery
- Seed Expertise
- Climate Change Adaptation
- Knowledge Exchange
We are foresters, technicians, landowners, ecologists, biologists and seed experts with over 30 years of experience in Climate Change adaptation and forest conservation. Learn more about Our Team, Our Board of Directors, and Our Partners and consider joining the FGCA today!
