Dear IUFRO Members There has been a suggestion from an events organiser that the next D5 Conference (in 2012) could be held in Portugal. For this to happen, I need to have an expression of interest from an organisation in Portugal which has members interested in D5 activities. Does anyone who of an organisation which might like to take this on?
