Register early
Registration for the World Congress on Agroforestry 2014 (WCA2014) has been open for several months, and will continue almost up to the date of the Congress. However, ‘early bird’ registration, offering a substantial saving, will close on 15 November 2013. Sign up here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
What is it?
The World Agroforestry Centre and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, together with the Indian Society of Agroforestry and Global Initiatives, will hold the Congress in Delhi, India 10-14 February 2014.
The Congress, entitled ‘Trees for Life: Accelerating the Impacts of Agroforestry’, will draw over 1200 selected participants from the private, research and development sectors to share the current state of knowledge and accelerate the positive financial, environmental and social impacts of agroforestry.
Make a contribution
A more important date is the deadline to submit abstracts. Slots to present papers and take part in discussion sessions are filling up fast, and time is running out. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2013, so you only have a little over two more weeks. Submit abstracts of papers and posters here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
Abstracts submitted for the Congress will be evaluated and accepted for one of the following options:
* Oral presentation (in some form) in relevant sessions
* Presentation as a poster
* Suitability for the congress compendium
All abstracts selected will be included in the congress compendium.
A dynamic agenda
The Congress has a number of themes. The first day features presentations on Indian topics related to agroforestry. The second part deals with business and agroforestry, third is a consideration of development and agroforestry, and fourth is a review of scientific breakthroughs and innovation. The final day looks at the integration of science, business and development, with keynote speakers and a panel discussion, and a plenary discussion of the outcomes. The full list of themes is:
* Agroforestry systems, income and environmental benefits
* Climate change, multi-functionality, livestock and fish systems
(These two with an orientation towards India)
* The business of agroforestry: applying science
* Sustaining development through agroforestry
* Applying science to the future of agroforestry: breakthroughs and innovation
* Policy, innovation and global issues.
The agenda <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67…> is structured to generate outputs that produce a global roadmap for agroforestry in the context of world development and create a deliberate and tangible legacy in terms of recognition, partnership, investment and impact.

Dear Mr. Buck,
I am Li Hui, Managing Editor of Forest Ecosystems, a new international Open Access journal established at Beijing Forestry University in cooperation with Springer Science. The project has excellent backing regarding available staff and other resources. We have two Editors in Chief, Dr. Yin WeiLun from China and Dr. Klaus v. Gadow from Germany, and an international Editorial Board which includes 25 Associate Editors and 5 Senior Editors.
Traditional journals are inundated with manuscripts and Forest Ecosystems will improve the chances for good papers to become available sooner. We will start publishing peer-reviewed original articles and critical reviews in January, 2014. The focus will be on individual papers and special issues relating to natural and managed forest ecosystems and their services to people. Manuscripts will go online and will be ready for download as soon as they are accepted. During the first two years, we will carry the cost of publishing Open Access.
IUFRO scientists are invited to visit our webseite at <http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/fsc> http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/fsc and submit their manuscripts after logging in as author and providing the contact details of 4 qualified referees. We also welcome proposals for a special issue.
Thank you for your support!
With best regards

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.

2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
and
IUFRO Conference on Forests for People
Have you had a chance to check out the conference program? With the addition of the IUFRO Conference on Forests for People, there are over 150 speakers presenting 120 topics in 55 sessions. The planning team has put together five fascinating field educational sessions. And there are seven preconference tours and training, including Leave No Trace training, SCORP University and a trip to Mackinac Island. Wow!
Traverse City is one of America’s outdoor recreation wonderlands. It’s a small town with all the amenities and culture of a larger city. Bon Appetit has listed it as one of America’s Top Five Foodie towns. There are nine microbreweries in Traverse City and 35 wineries in the region. You don’t want to miss this conference!
I thought I would share some of the more enticing conference programs in this email. If you want more detail, download the full program. <https://recpro.memberclicks.net/assets/Conference/2013_conference_program_0…>
SCORP University – Pre-conference Training
Training session and discussion for State SCORP planners and others interested about statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation planning, the Land and Water Conservation Fund planning requirement to participate in the federal LWCF state financial assistance/grant program.
Field Educational Sessions
TART Trail Bicycle System

Participants will learn about how unique partnerships have leveraged money and manpower to develop and maintain over 60 miles of trail in the region. 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.
