***************************************************************************************************************************************************
Dear friends and colleagues,
#FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest – Winning photos to be part of an exhibition at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site during IV Mediterranean Forest Week in Barcelona.
The first edition of the #FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest, launched by the Forest Communicators Network in the Mediterranean Region and Near East (FCNMedNE), is organised in the framework of the 2015 International Day of Forests. This year’s theme is “Forests | Climate | Change”, climate change being one of the biggest challenges facing our planet while the role of our forests in mitigation needs to be more clearly understood.
The #FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest aims at highlighting the vital role of the forests in the development of forest communities. Photos should be taken in the forest in Mediterranean and Near Eastern countries and should reflect the role played by forest people and forests in general on the following topic(s): income generation; mitigation of climate change; water conservation; soil conservation; sustainable development; social equity, gender balance; women empowerment; youth development.
A selection of the best photos will be shared on the <http://www.fao.org/forestry/communication-toolkit/86425/en/> FAO website of the FCNMedNE, printed and presented in an exhibition during the IV Mediterranean Forest Week in Barcelona (17-20 March 2015).
Deadline for sending photos: 12th March 2015 at 23:59 UTC
Please find enclosed the instructions in English, French, Spanish.
Best regards,

Subject: COST Action EUMIXFOR Workshop - SILVICULTURE OF MIXED FORESTS IN EUROPE, 28-29 May 2015
COST Action EUMIXFOR Workshop
co-sponsored by IUFRO WGs 1.01.06 & 4.02.06, Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF), Italian Academy of Forest Sciences (AISF)
SILVICULTURE OF MIXED FORESTS IN EUROPE
28-29 May 2015
Consiglio per la ricerca e la sperimentazione in agricoltura, Forestry Research Centre (CRA-SEL), Arezzo, Italy
This Workshop is intended to give participants direct insight into and experience of the practice and potential of the silviculture of mixed species forests, with particular (but not exclusive) emphasis on Europe. Topics to be covered will include: regeneration methods; intermediate treatments and thinning; conversion methods (including coppice to high forests and vice-versa); silvicultural recovery of abandoned mixed stands and of mixed stands from recent natural colonization of former agricultural fields; challenges for mixed tree species silviculture to enhance wood and non-wood productions, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services; challenges for mixed tree species silviculture under global changes and landscape management. Both presentations synthesizing information at the European scale and presentations focusing on more local studies are invited. The target audience is scientists, young researchers and managers working on, or collaborating with, silvicultural projects in mixed species forests.
