Survey: Share Your Views on Silviculture and Ungulates!
Are you interested in the joint management of grazing ungulates and forest
ecosystems? Do you want to contribute to mapping the silvicultural
challenges and opportunities posed by ungulates?
IUFRO Working Party 1.01.12 Silviculture and ungulates has developed a
questionnaire for you to help shape and enhance future activities of the
unit. This survey was first announced in the IUFRO News Vol. 53, Issue 10,
Page 8 about three weeks ago
(https://www.iufro.org/uploads/media/news24-10.pdf ).
This e-mail is therefore a kind reminder for those of you who are interested
in the topic to complete the survey before the deadline 15th December 2024.
You may also want to share the information and link to the
survey with colleagues in your network, you believe might be interested
in contributing.
Please fill in the questionnaire by Sunday 15th December 2024:

The Working Party aims at identifying and developing scientifically based,
socially relevant and sustainable solutions for integrated wildlife,
forestry, and forest landscape management. Your input is highly welcome!
