Subject: Task Force Webinar Series
Aloha, please share this widely! The Task Force on Nontimber Forest Products and the Bioeconomy are starting a series of presentation. This intended to let people know.
Please join us for a new webinar series<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.srs.f…>! The IUFRO Task Force "Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Nontimber Forest Products" with partners is cohosting a series of presentations to explore how NTFP are integrated into a bioeconomy. A bioeconomy can reduce environmental impacts of economic growth through science-based management that promotes sustainable production. In this series, experts from around the world will share research on nontimber forest products within a bioeconomy concept.
The first webinar will be Tuesday, August 31, 7:30-8:30 a.m. ET. Register<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.z…> for the webinar. The attached flyer provides more information on this month's speaker.
The series will feature monthly webinars over the next year, leading up to the UN FAO XV World Forestry Congress in May 2022. "Building a Green Healthy and Resilient Future with Forests" is the theme and the Congress will be held in South Korea.

Dear IUFRO Division 2 member
(please excuse for multiple postings)
The first EVOLTREE Conference on "Genomics and Adaptation in Forest
Ecosystems" will take place 14-17 September, 2021, at WSL Birmensdorf in
Switzerland. Thanks to the improved situation concerning the pandemic in
many countries, we will hold the conference in hybrid format (on-site and
online).
Registration is still possible
· on-site: 15 August 2021
· online: 1 September 2021
at the registration website https://conf.wsl.ch/evoltree/
Registration follows a two-step procedure (first as user of the
registration tool, then as conference participant).
The conference focuses on the genomics and adaptation of trees and
interacting species from evolutionary, demographic, ecological and
conservation perspectives. It features
· diverse topical sessions
· two poster sessions
· two teaching lectures
· a half-day excursion
· ample opportunities for scientific networking
For more information and the detailed program, visit our conference
website:
http://www.evoltree.eu/index.php/network/current-information/news/10-news/n…
Note that the on-site participation is subject to government travel
restrictions that may change at short notice. To enter Switzerland,
special rules apply at the moment for certain countries and regions (i.e.,
a 10-day quarantine). More details and respective links can be found on
the conference webpage.
EVOLTREE (http://evoltree.eu) is a European network of research
institutions and universities engaged in studying the evolution and
functioning of forest ecosystems, in particular trees as the foundation
species in forest stands. A prime topic in the face of ongoing climate
change is to elucidate how trees, together with their associated organisms
such as mycorrhizal fungi, respond to rapid environmental changes.
With best regards, the organizing committee:
