Subject: CCF seminar "Coppice, Carbon and Catastrophes: The Joy and Pain of Managing for CCF in our Times"
Dear colleague,
The Continuous Cover Forestry Group (= "Pro Silva UK") of Great Britain has asked me to give a webinar entitled "Coppice, Carbon and Catastrophes: The Joy and Pain of Managing for CCF in our Times". You find more information on the event by using this link:
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/continuouscoverforestrygroup/1030247
Perhaps this is of interest to you. Participation is free and access is possible from anywhere in the world provided you have internet access. Mind the UK time difference. Please pass this information on to interested parties.
Best wishes,
Arne

Message posted on behalf of Julio Javier Diez Casero
Dear colleagues
As already announced, from the 21st to the 23rd of November 2023, the Pinea Spot International Congress will be held in Lisbon, Portugal. Pinea Spot will be entirely dedicated to stone pine research, bringing together not only members of the scientific community but also technicians, managers, and forestry producers to promote cooperation, the exchange of knowledge, and the creation of synergies among all of us that work with this emblematic Mediterranean species!
You can have access to more information on the Pinea Spot Congress<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pineaspot-congress2023.pt/en/home-en/__;…>
Abstract submission<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pineaspot-congress2023.pt/en/abstract-su…> is open until September 30th:
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us. We kindly request your assistance in sharing this call for submissions with your networks and colleagues who may be interested.
We look forward to meeting you there!"

Oak (Quercus) trees and forests have provided a myriad of wood resources and ecosystem services for millennia. Oaks are considered a keystone species in many regions of the world but are increasingly threatened by deforestation, nonnative invasive pests and pathogens, climate change, altered disturbance regimes, and gaps in critical knowledge for silviculture and management. Rural and urban communities will continue to lose vital ecosystem services and values provided by oak trees and forests without further development and application of practical science-based silviculture and management at stand and landscape levels. Substantial progress has been made in research and science delivery for oak ecology, silviculture, and management since the mid-20th century. Prescriptions and general applications of solutions, however, are often elusive and difficult to develop. The University of Tennessee's School of Natural Resources<https://naturalresources.tennessee.edu/> is proud to host an International Oak Symposium<https://naturalresources.tennessee.edu/oak-symposium/> in 2024 to provide a platform to exchange information and build collaborations around the best available science and technology on oak ecology and management for a global audience. The meeting will provide innovative and progressive formats to deliver and exchange information and foster collaborations between researchers and practitioners. Field trip(s) will be offered that showcase multi-disciplinary research of the USDA Forest Service and other partners. A call for abstracts will be coming soon.
