Dear Officeholders of Division 6:

As we are gearing toward completing the IUFRO's five-year term in June, I am required to present the work that our Division has accomplished in the period 2019-2024 at the Extended Board meeting in Uppsala, Sweden, on the 19th of June 2024.

For those RGs that have been actively organizing research and extension activities and have been reporting to us (including contributions to the Division's newsletters), I would take this opportunity to request you to share the photo(s) of one to max three specific activities that you would like me to highlight at the Board meeting presentation (approx 5 minutes per Division Coordinator).

A few RGs have never reported about their activities or the IUFRO's annual strategic plan since I took over from Cecil Konijnendijk as Division Coordinator in September 2022. I would like to include you in this process and therefore leave it open for you to respond on what I should report about your work for the period 2019-2024. 

I look forward to hearing from you on or before 15th May 2024 (of course a polite reminder will be sent again around mid-April!). Thank you. 

Kind regards, 
Purabi.
