Starting another community forest with sugar maple seedlings may be a good way to improve the quality of life for the Nepalese through various direct and indirect benefits including wood and ecological services (Thoms, 2008).  This product could help Canada also with jobs and stimulate more income with increased trade. The market may be small in Nepal, but sugar maple seedlings could potentially be marketed to other third world countries.

​

          For instance, a trial run in Nepal would be beneficial to see the survival rates of the seedlings in the hill region. It may not be economical for Nepal to import seedlings if the survival rate is very low. Instead, Canadian sugar maple seeds could be imported and sown directly for germination in Nepal. This could improve the survival rate as the seedlings will have grown and adapted specifically to the Nepal environment and have no transplant shock (Zimmermann, 2016).
