The Forest Assisted Migration Project (FAMP) is based in Northeast Minnesota. It is a multi-regional research and community engagement project underway to re-establish a resilient northern forest and bolster the regional economy. The project is meeting this vision through 1) development and implementation of a robust network for seed collection of tree species and populations that are predicted to thrive in the future, 2) formation of the Farm and Forest Growers Cooperative, a network of small farms and nurseries that grow climate-adapted tree seeds and then sell the seedlings to reforestation agencies and individuals, and 3) establishment of partnerships and seedling purchase agreements with reforestation agencies including The Nature Conservancy, county forestry departments, and Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs).

FAMP was awarded the 2024 Environmental Innovation Award by the Environmental Initiative.
