Dear Dr. Andy Wong (IUFRO Division 5 Coordinator):

The IUFRO Task Force “Resources for the Future” will hold a conference this
August (27-29) in Vancouver, Canada. In my capacity as Coordinator of this
Task Force, I am asking if you could possibly distribute the message below
to your network of Division contacts?

For your interest, I have also attached a 1-page overview about the
conference and a document containing speaker biographies.

Thank-you very much for your assistance with this matter,

Dr. John Innes,
Dean, Faculty of Forestry
University of British Columbia
