[PCA] American Elm Restoration Successes

[Lisa Feldkamp]

Hi,

We have a story today on Cool Green Science about successes in breeding American elm varieties that are resistant to Dutch elm disease: https://blog.nature.org/science/2017/08/09/quest-restore-american-elms-nearing-finish-line/

After 50 years of effort the project is producing more successful saplings and restoring elms to more test plots in the northeastern US. There is hope that elms will soon be breeding in the wild once again.

Cheers,
Lisa
