Canadian Tree Improvement Association

The Canadian Tree Improvement Association (CTIA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality and productivity of Canadian forests through research and genetic improvement of tree species. It coordinates efforts among foresters, researchers, and industry stakeholders to develop better trees for reforestation, timber, and conservation. By selecting and breeding superior tree stock, the CTIA aims to promote healthy, sustainable forests that meet economic and environmental needs. Their work ensures that future forests are more resilient, productive, and capable of adapting to changing conditions.
