Forest Health InitiativeMessages to Consider from Year 1
Science Advisory Committee• expertise mostly external to chestnut• site visits to check progress and talk science
Funding Mechanism• deliverables-based• supplemental supports new innovations
Crosstalk is Required• deliverables are interdependent
There is a Sense of Urgency

Forest Health InitiativeLooking Ahead
Rapid Response Framework • required to generalize the model• not “one size fits all”
Roll-Out• publications• outreach
Biotechnology-Assisted Ecosystem Restoration• many challenges but an important discussion
