Camcore Book

Conservation and Testing of Tropical and Subtropical Forest Tree Species by the Camcore Cooperative
(2000)

This book describes 11 different pines in Central America and Mexico that Camcore has worked with over the years. It has a number of color photos and tables about collection sites as well as early results of many Camcore trials.  The book can be obtained by contacting the Camcore office. A nominal fee will be charged for shipping. Email us at [email protected] to request a copy of the book
