Colleagues,
The NFT Working Party has been publishing the NFT News which provides a platform for members to share their recent research findings and as a source of information on scientific meetings and recent literature published on nitrogen fixing trees and shrubs. So far 12 issues have been published since 1998.
It is proposed to bring out the combined 13th and 14th issues of NFT News during July 2017. The newsletter will be hosted in the website of IUFRO. We are inviting contributions for the forthcoming issue of the NFT News on or before 31st May 2017. Contributions may focus on activities that highlight research, promotion and development of nitrogen fixing trees and shrubs. The newsletter will also carry announcements on new information sources, useful websites and upcoming relevant events.
Contributions to the newsletter may be written in a simple and reader-friendly language to interest a diverse audience. They should contain new information and not a concise version of an article published already. Please limit your contributions to 1500 words in a Word file. Inclusion of good-quality photographs (at least 300 dpi) is encouraged. Photographs, graphs and other illustrations may please be sent as separate files.

Subject: Gregory Award materials
Greetings!
The Society of American Foresters is excited to begin accepting applications for the 2017 Gregory Award. The Gregory Award seeks to mark the achievements of Bob and Ann Gregory and further their interest in international relations by providing economic assistance to outstanding students or professionals from outside of the US and Canada to attend the SAF Convention and have meaningful engagement with foresters on the North American continent.
Thanks to the continued generosity of the Gregory family and SAF members, this award has been expanded to bring two promising individuals to the SAF Convention each year. This year’s convention will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico on November 15-19. The award includes complimentary registration and $2,000 (US dollars) that may be utilized for travel, lodging, and tickets to SAF convention events or technical field tours. SAF will work with successful applicants to allocate the funds in the most useful manner.
Please help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity. The deadline to apply is May 8, 2017.
The application is attached. For more information, visit http://www.eforester.org/Main/Community/Scholarships/Gregory_Award.aspx <http://www.eforester.org/Main/Community/Scholarships/Gregory_Award.aspx>.
