Forest Seedling Root Development and Function
for Reforestation and Restoration October 19-21, 2021 • Virtual
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES:
This IUFRO symposium is intended to provide a forum for exchange of ideas related to principles of root development in nursery seedlings and juvenile forest trees. Emphasis will be placed on the development of effective and environmentally sound technologies to optimize seedling quality and promote reforestation and forest restoration operations. Speaker topics will focus on seedling root development in the nursery and in the field. The program is aimed toward an international audience of nursery and forest practitioners, scientists, and educators. Presentations will be of excellent scientific quality while also providing new, useful information which can be readily and widely applied to nursery and forest practices.
ORGANIZERS:
The symposium is being organized by Western Forestry and Conservation Association, Purdue University, and USDA Forest Service with support from IUFRO divisions 1.01.03 (Temperate Forest Regeneration), 1.06.00 (Restoration of Degraded Sites), and 3.02.00 (Stand Establishment and Treatment).
SESSIONS:
In an effort to accommodate multiple time zones, the symposium will be held during three days from 8:00AM to 10:40AM (PDT, UTC-7). Registered attendees will also have exclusive access to recorded sessions for 30 days after the event.

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.
