Betreff: Dissemination of Special issue sponsored by IUFRO
Special Issue "Non-Wood Forest Products Management: Inventory, Planning, Governance, Marketing and Trade"
Dear Colleagues,
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO Units 4.04.04-Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling and 5.11.00-Non-Wood Forest Products and the IUFRO Task Force on Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Non-Timber Forest Products) as well as the 19th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources (SSAFR 2021) are sponsoring this Special Issue of Forests (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests)
We welcome the submission of manuscripts for publication in this Forests special issue (SI). There are a myriad of opportunities to unlock the full potential of NWFPs, such as creating new knowledge and tools to optimize the sustainable provision and profitability of NWFPs, fostering the development of market conditions for NWFPs, and developing economic and governance strategies for the better management of wild forest products-particularly in low-income countries. Thus, this SI aims at contributing to the dissemination of research endeavors involving the development of models, methods, processes, and decision support tools to address the inventory, planning, harvesting, governance, certification, marketing, and trade of NWFPs. This will be influential to strengthen the NWFP knowledge base and of research strategies to support the full encapsulation of NWFPs in the framework of the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. Papers submitted for publication in this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer review process with the aim of prompt and wide dissemination of research results and applications.

2021 Virtual Western Region COFE Seminar - Improving Forest Harvesting
Operations
14 January 2021; 8:15 - 4:30 hrs.
WR COFE is a regional chapter (western United States and British Columbia)
of the COUNCIL ON FOREST ENGINEERING (COFE). COFE is an international
professional organization formed to foster the development of forest
engineering in industry, government, and education in order to promote the
best methods of managing and operating forests, both private and public.
COFE serves the forestry profession by disseminating technical information
about forest engineering.
The 2021 Annual Seminar will be held virtually. Renowned experts in logging,
harvesting and forest roads will hold talks, among them the Coordinator of
IUFRO Working Party 3.01.02, Kevin Lyons.
