Jeremy R. Pinto, M.S.
Botanist/Tribal Nursery Coordinator
USDA Forest Service
Rocky Mountain Research Station
1221 South Main Street
Moscow, ID 83843
Background
Jeremy's interest in the natural world came from his father, a now-retired high school biology teacher. Throughout school he pursued the biological and natural sciences while picking up seasonal work with the Forest Service. His early forestry work included habitat improvement, prescribed fire, wildlife, wildland fire, and forest health. Graduate school provided an opportunity and segue into his current career of nursery and outplanting research. Additionally, Jeremy maintains connection to his Native American background working as a technical nursery liaison to Indigenous peoples across the U.S.Research Interests
Forest and native plant nursery propagation, outplanting, and establishment including biophysical and physiological limitations and adaptations within each system.Current Research and Projects
Jeremy is currently collaborating on a project to improve propagation and outplanting success of Acacia koa seedlings on high-altitude, frost-prone sites. He is completing his doctoral research examining nursery cultural practices and biophysical site limitations of dry-site forest planting.Technology Transfer
The Intertribal Nursery Council is a USDA Forest Service managed, tribally guided, organization for advancing the interests of native peoples involved with plant production in nurseries. Key issues include technology transfer and sharing, conservation education, preservation of traditional ecological knowledge, reforestation, restoration, and nursery training. The Council meets annually, holding information sharing meetings and nursery training workshops.Membership
Intertribal Nursery Council (Chair), Western Forest Conservation Nursery Association, Intermountain Container Seedling Grower's Association, Northeastern Forest and Conservation Nursery Association, Southern Forest Nursery AssociationNotable Career Accomplishments
