Who we serve

Bridging advanced science and landscape-scale decisions.

LSC supports the landscape stewardship community across North America by pairing population and landscape genomics with field-based experiments, climate data, and geospatial tools. The work is designed for practical use: seed sourcing, restoration planning, species conservation, and long-term management.

Core services

Decision support from genomic
signal to field application.

Outputs that travel

Clear maps, reports, and recommendations built for management workflows.

LSC emphasizes translation: results are shaped into management-ready guidance, GIS-compatible datasets, technical reports, and plain-language summaries that agencies, NGOs, and partners can actually use.

  • Seed sourcing and procurement strategies
  • Genetic risk and maladaptation assessments
  • Climate-adjusted provenancing scenarios
  • Training, education, and collaborative planning
