Dear IUFRO colleagues,
September 6 8, 2011 IUFRO WP 1.01.01 Boreal forest silviculture and
management and the SNS-network group NORFOR (Sustainable forest management
in northern Fennoscandia) arrange an international forest research
conference in Mid-Norway (near Trondheim). The Norwegian Forest and
Landscape Institute is host organization for the conference.
The conference title is Forest management and silviculture in the north
balancing future needs, and it will be held at Quality Airport Hotel
Værnes, only 2.5 km from Trondheim Airport Værnes.
Scientific topics:
1. Silviculture in the north in times of climate change:
· Climate change: effects on productivity and carbon sequestration in
northern forests.
· Insects and pathogens in northern forest systems under global
warming - consequences for forest production and implications for
silviculture.
· Cost-effective regeneration, pre-commercial thinning and young stand
management to maintain or increase biomass production of northern forest
ecosystems.
2. Multifunctional forestry and environmental services:
· Developing adaptive silvicultural systems to maintain biodiversity
values and production levels.
· Reducing conflicts between wood production and non timber values
such as reindeer husbandry, berry production and recreational activities.
· Implementing coherent forest policy and certification schemes that
are consistent with forest productivity, stand management, climate
mitigation and biodiversity goals.
Registration is open. Please visit the conference website for further
details: http://seminar.skogkurs.no/silviculture2011
We welcome researchers, managers, students and others interested in
silviculture and management of our boreal forests.
On behalf of IUFRO WP 1.01.01 and NORFOR,

Hello,
I'm looking for pictures or drawings of some Kenyan trees as a first step in
a allometry project. I've had some success searching the literature, texts,
and google images, but I haven't been able to locate anything for the
following trees:
Cremaspora trifoliaGarcinia volkensis Margaritiana discoideaOlinia
rochetiana Terena graveolens
Any representative photos you could share or resources you might point me to
would be a great help.
Thanks

Dear colleagues
We remind you of our web survey about the effects of forest
certification on biodiversity conservation in tropical forests. If you
did not have the time yet, we invite you to please visit
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V6CJBK6 and complete this survey. It
takes only ten minutes. We intend to close the survey by 15 June.
Please also share with colleagues. It is open to everyone. We are
especially keen to have more input from forest managers!
Through this anonymous survey, we try to obtain opinions and
perspectives from forest management and conservation researchers,
practitioners and other experts on the following broad topics:
*The effectiveness of certification for biodiversity conservation
*The objectives of biodiversity management in tropical forests
*Current management and certification practices
These are important topics and we want to hear your views. The more
input we get the more valuable the survey will be.
Background: The European Tropical Forest Research Network (ETFRN) plans
to issue an ETFRN News about experiences and best practices regarding
forest management certification and the conservation of forest
biodiversity. The editors of the ETFRN News (Douglas Sheil, Jack Putz
and undersigned) are conducting a brief survey to accompany the papers
contributed by authors for this news issue.
Thank you very much for your collaboration, and again we request you to
please forward to colleagues.
Best regards and many thanks for all the input!

Dear Björn Hånell!
I searched for, found, got 460 hectares of degraded land. They planted and grow 100 hectares of rare, endangered and species of trees from the Red Book. Each year up to a forest area of 5-10 hectares. I am the first and so far only in Russia, forest farmer. My goal is to restore degraded land through planting and establishment of forest on this land. Please provide information about organizations and individuals carrying out similar work. I would be grateful for the advice of specialists in the field of rehabilitation of degraded lands and reproduction of such forest resources. Please include my details to send information about planned activities.

Искал, нашел, получил 460 га деградированных земель. На них посадил и выращиваю 100 га редких, исчезающих и видов деревьев из Красной книги. Каждый год площадь леса увеличиваю на 5-10 га. Я являюсь первым, и пока единственным в России лесным фермером. Моя цель восстановить деградированные земли при помощи посадки и создания леса на данной земле. Прошу сообщить информацию об организациях и лицах, проводящих аналогичную работу. Буду благодарен за консультации специалистов в области восстановления деградированных земель и воспроизводства подобных лесных ресурсов. Прошу включить мои данные для рассылки информации о планируемых мероприятиях.
