Dear all,

We are sending a second announcement and call for abstracts for the IUFRO Seed Orchard Conference that will be held on September 4–6, 2017 in Bålsta, Sweden. The conference is jointly organized by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), the Swedish Forestry Research Institute (Skogforsk) and Svenska skogsplantor under the patronage of IUFRO.

The goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for scientists, students and managers of seed orchards and forest regeneration to exchange the most recent scientific advances related to forest tree seed orchards and their integration in the forestry practice.

Note that we have extended the deadline for abstract submission to May 31^st, 2017. For more information please visit http://seedorchard2017.upsc.se/.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who you think might be interested in attending the conference.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Bålsta!

Sincerely yours,

Organizing Committee (Tomas Funda, Curt Almqvist, Henrik Hallingbäck, Ulfstand Wennström, Harry Wu, Dag Lindgren, Finnvid Prescher, Irena Fundova)
