Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the 43rd annual meeting of the Council on Forest Engineering (COFE) and the 53rd annual meeting of the International Symposium on Forest Mechanization (FORMEC) will be held jointly as a virtual meeting on 27-30 September, 2021. Attached please find the Call for Abstracts and information about the joint virtual meeting. For more details and to submit your abstract, please visit https://cofe-formec2021.org. We encourage you to submit your own abstracts and share the Call for Abstracts with your colleagues and students.
Thank you, and we look forward to your participation!
Best regards,
Woodam Chung and Karl Stampfer
COFE-FORMEC Joint Meeting Chairs

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.

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration

FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest
restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand
enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation,
based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts.
Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of
Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies
Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020
Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy
Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for
Future Climates and Human Well-Being
WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda
forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation
expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in
FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what
works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation.
The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the
national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and
economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration,
that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to
sustaining it.
It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest
restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya,
Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and
Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling
factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR
interventions.
