Since 1989, France has created a national programme for conserving forest tree genetic resources. It is now steered by the National Commission of Forest Genetic Resources (CRGF) which celebrated its 20th anniversary. The CGRF involves central administration, research, public and private forest managers, NGOs. It proposes the national programme's major guidelines and priorities to the Ministry in charge of Forests. Since 2006, this programme is also part of the National Strategy for Biodiversity and it is a flagship activity in the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan.
CRGF (President: F. Lefèvre; Secretary: E. Collin) has three working groups:
Some of the EUFORGEN Technical Guidelines have been translated into French, published Ministère de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation, https://agriculture.gouv.fr/la-politique-nationale-de-conservation-des-ressources-genetiques-forestieres.
