Online Symposium: Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation 19 Jan 2023
The International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) and the International Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters (IFWG-SAF) are offering the online symposium “Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation” on Friday 19 January 2023 for 2.5 hours, at 7-930am Seattle, 10am-1230pm Washington DC, 10pm-1230am Jakarta.
The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America, continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry, conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the influence of the TFF continues today.

Dear Colleagues,
This is an early notification that the 3rd IUFRO Div. 3 Doctoral Conference is planned to be held June 17-20th in Umeå, Sweden.
The date is chosen so there is possibilities to connect travels with participation in the IUFRO World Congress in central Sweden and/or the FORMEC conference in northern Poland.
More info will come in January, but please inform your PhD students about this, so they can plan for it - and keep it in mind if they plan to attend the IUFRO World Congress and/or FORMEC.
Thank you, and Seasons Greetings to you all!
// Ola Lindroos
