*What Is the Assisted Tree Range Expansion Project?
ATREP is a northwest Michigan citizen science initiative that is being developed in response to the ongoing and impending impacts of climate change felt in our region. Simply defined, assisted range expansion is, “the human assisted movement of species to areas just outside their established range in response to climate change, facilitating or mimicking natural range expansion.”
This project involves private landowners and community groups in reforestation using tree species where the native ranges reach their upper limits in southern to middle lower Michigan.
By establishing species that are predicted to thrive in our region, we will help to increase ecosystem diversity, offset widespread tree die-offs, and ultimately improve the resilience of our future forests.
