The UT Tree Improvement Program has served Tennessee and the southern Appalachian region since 1959 through research, collegiate education, and contributions to the science of forestry. To faithfully improve and protect the forest, a translation of the Latin in our seal, has been the mission of the program since its inception.
The future of eastern hemlock in Tennessee forests depends on reforestation efforts with ample and accessible seed supply. UT-TIP is establishing seed orchards now so that when conservation agencies have successful control of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Tennessee will be ready to begin planting hemlock trees right away.
