Dear D5 officers,
Please see the announcement for the 2nd IUFRO conference on Forests for
People. This is a follow up to my recent email on this conference. Noted
the deadline extended to 15 January 2013. The conference organisers are
also offering full access to the parallel conference “2013 National Outdoor

details of the conference announcement is shown below.
Cheers,
Andrew Wong
Coordinator, IUFRO D5 (Forest Products)

The 2nd IUFRO Conference on Forests for People
May 19-23, 2013, Traverse City, Michigan USA
The deadline for research abstract submittal has been extended to January
15, 2013
The aim of this conference by the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) is to build a systematic body of knowledge about
“forests for people” and its various facets, including possible future
trends and challenges. The conference theme, “A Growing Interdisciplinary
Task,” aims to integrate knowledge from various disciplines inside and
outside of forestry such as recreation, sociology, global dynamics,
environmental management, education, urban planning and many others.
The main sub-themes of FFP are:
· Livelihoods — issues of agro-forestry, food security, fuels, poverty
alleviation, and human dislocation
· Health, Recreation and Tourism — issues of human health, recreation,
and nature-based tourism
· Urban and Rural Landscapes — issues of ecosystem services, economic
benefit and development, spaces and places for living, and urban
forestry
· Culture and Education — issues of perceptions of forests, spiritual
character, education, historical tradition and practice,
communication and governance
We are pleased to offer full access to the parallel conference “2013
National Outdoor Recreation Conference” which “Forests for People”
participants are welcome to join for free.
Presentations
Research presentations are 20 minutes in length (15 minute presentation
with 5 minutes for questions). Management sessions are 1.5 hours in length
with 2-4 presenters. Session organizers may customize the format of the
session to help ensure a quality learning experience. The meeting rooms
will provide a laptop computer, digital projector, screen, lectern, and
audio system (in the larger rooms). Special requests for eraser boards,
dissolve units, video equipment and other specialized equipment will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please include any special requests in
your proposal. Following the conference, the session presentations and
handouts will be posted on the host websites, unless you request otherwise.
Poster Sessions
Participants are also invited to submit an abstract for a poster
presentation. Posters will be on display during the conference, with
special attention given at the Opening Reception when attendees will have a
chance to visit and ask questions. Tripods will be provided and placed in
the large meeting room where breaks will be taken, helping to ensure
opportunities for interaction.
Abstracts
People may submit several abstracts for either presentations and/or
posters. One submission is required for each proposed presentation and/or
poster session. It is important that each abstract includes all the
required information.
Response to Abstract Submissions
All proposals will be peer reviewed and selected on the basis of relevance
and appropriateness for this conference. Because of the limited number of
program times available, not all proposals are guaranteed a place in the
schedule. All participants submitting an abstract will be notified as to
acceptance or rejection by February 1, 2013.
Submission Information
All abstracts should be submitted in English and emailed to Brenda
Adams-Weyant at Brenda(a)RecPro.org.
Conference Information
Conference information will be posted and updated regularly at
www.recpro.org/2013-sorp-ffp-conference. Registration is expected to open
