The number of research proposals submitted to the Tree Research and Education Endowment (TREE) Fund each year far outstrips the funds available to implement them. For example, research grant requests over the past year totaled more than $815,000 and the TREE Fund was only able to support about 18 percent of that. Business and academic researchers are not at a loss for problems to solve or questions that need an answer. The voices of the industry that communicate these needs to researchers are definitely being heard.
