Dear Flic - I am definitely interested in what you can share of the CSIR Tree Breeding course, to see what might be included in this basic forest genetics course. Thanks! Regards, Sheila On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 3:46 AM, Felicity Blakeway <FBlakeway(a)csir.co.za> wrote:

The course materials might be used for a local course, or for review. This sort of material is best given in a face-to-face class, but I think it would help a local instructor to have such materials available. I believe is a big need for this sort of course for many tropical areas. I am wondering if anyone would be interested helping to construct this course? Credit would be given to all participants. Thanks, Sheila Ward

Dear all, I feel it is a good movement started by Sheila. I really appreciate the idea. we are working on forest ecology with respect to insect biodiversity and ecological disturbances. If the group feels that we can able to contribute in the venture. I am really happy to join in this group.

Dear Kostya, Barbara, and Marcus: Thanks very much for the offer to share teaching materials for this basic forest genetics course. I will make sure that credit is given for participation and shared materials. The materials you have will be of high quality. I should have the syllabus shortly from the Mexican forestry program. The idea is to have the course also available online for whoever else would find it useful.
