The Forest Phenotyping working group aims to:
- Promote the concept of forest phenotyping to the international scientific community
- Enable the sharing of knowledge and efforts with the international scientific community
- Encourage the expansion of efforts to phenotype seedlings and trees
- Build networks within the IPPN community to share and develop platforms of interest to other IPPN working groups
