Betreff: 2013 SORP-FFP Conference Update
The IUFRO Conference on Forests for People and
the 2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Early Bird Registration Extended to May 1
The federal sequestration has put many potential federal conference attendees on hold while they sort out the budget implications. So we extended the early bird registration to May 1. The early bird rate for SORP and IUFRO members will increase from $385 to $485 on May 2. The non-member rate will increase from $485 to $585. Register now and save some bucks!
Attention Conference Speakers
Quite a few of you have registered already, but many of you have not. All speakers are expected to register for conference and pay their way. We do not have any funding to help with travel expenses. Please let us know right away if you cannot attend conference. The conference program goes to print in a few weeks and we want it to be as accurate as possible.
The conference program has been updated - <https://recpro.memberclicks.net/assets/Conference/2013_conference_program.p…> Click here to download a copy.
Lodging Reservations
We have quite a few lodging reservations for attendees that have not registered for conference yet. The room block at the Park Place Hotel is just about full and many attendees are contacting us because they cannot get a room.
If you made a hotel reservation and have since found out that you cannot attend. Please call now - (231) 946-5000 - and cancel your reservation so someone else can use that room and get a great rate. The conference group rate expires this Friday, so time is of the essence.

The session will feature a leisurely 15-mile bicycle ride on the trails through Traverse City and stop at locations along the way.
Old Mission Peninsula - A national coordinated land use success story!
The Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy will be hosting a trip focusing on the multiple benefits (social, economic, cultural etc.) of a coordinated land use protection strategy on the beautiful Old Mission Peninsula in Grand Traverse Bay. This tour will showcase the on the local, regional and indeed national impacts of this effort and touch on areas of the township dedicated to fruit production, environmental protection, passive and active recreation, and the growth of the wine industry and associated tourism.
A River Reborn: Building a Prosperous Community through Dam Removal and Ecological Restoration
Join the Grand Traverse Conservation District for an exploration of the Boardman River Dam Removal Process. Participants will board a bus at the Park Place Hotel to travel to the Boardman River Nature Center where they will receive a multi-media presentation on the largest dam removal project in Michigan History. The session will include an examination of the unique, multi-sector collaborative process that was used to build community investment, raise over $4.5 million and manage the first of three dam removal projects to successful completion—on time, and on budget. The session will conclude with a ~3 mile flat-water paddle from the Nature Center to Traverse City proper, within a short walk of the Park Place hotel. Canoes, paddles and life preservers will be provided
Michigan Partnerships Gone Wild
Program demonstrations of DNR’s Recreation 101: Great Lakes Fishing in the West Grand Traverse Bay paired with “Catch & Cook” and “Gourmet Gone Wild” sessions including a chef-prepared meal, and finishing with DNR partnerships with the Michigan Grape and Wine Council and Michigan Culinary Alliance.
Pathways to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore & the new Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail
Superintendent Dusty Shultz and Deputy Tom Ulrich will provide a behind the scenes orientation to the park. We will go into the park to experience the spectacular scenery and learn about the globally significant perched dune landscape, past and present recreational uses, and efforts to balance public access with protecting natural and cultural resources. Participants will have an option to bike the new Heritage Trail with NPS planner Barbara Jameson. We will learn about the history behind the Crystal River acquisition and working with local and national land trust to protect its ecologically important natural lands and resources.

Dear Climate-L readers,
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is inviting experts to take part in a second round of comments on the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report that starts on Thursday, 28 March. For the second round of expert reviews, Working Group II, which covers climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, is seeking input from volunteer expert reviewers from all relevant fields. The second order draft of the contribution will also be reviewed by the member governments of the IPCC. The review period runs until 24 May. Registration for participation in the review is now open.
The IPCC seeks the widest possible participation by experts in the reviews of its draft reports. Reviewers should reflect the full range of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views, expertise, and geographical representation.
In order to arrive at a balanced assessment, Working Group II hopes to draw on the expertise of climate scientists as well as others with the knowledge or experience to provide scientific review comments on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability.
The main stages of the review process are the review of the first order draft by scientific experts, the review of the second order draft by experts and governments, and a final round of government comments on the draft of the Summary for Policymakers.
During the review of the first order draft of its contribution to AR5, Working Group II received more than 19,000 comments from 563 reviewers from 60 countries. Independent review editors ensure that every review comment is addressed by the authors of the report chapters. To ensure transparency, all the comments and the responses from the authors are published with the drafts after the reports are released.
Individuals who have already registered for the review of the first order draft are automatically registered for the review of the second order draft. They can use the login credentials provided for the earlier review. Experts who have not previously registered may secure access to the reviewing system based on an email request to tsu(a)ipcc-wg2.gov .
Please feel free to disseminate this review registration link within your professional networks.
