Please double and triple check the listed Pacific Daylight Savings Time (PDT) and your local time. Finally, a GRAND THANK YOU for your willingness to present and participate in sessions happening in early mornings, late evenings, mid-days and when-not. This is a most ambitious endeavour, to gather individuals residing in 17 time zones on a planetary scale, and we should all congratulate ourselves for becoming the oh, so very skilled, time-benders! 😊 The Fun Stuff: Calling on all music lovers A few playlists inspire us further to detail this Conference: * Light Up CFC 2021 - Forest & Trees * Light Up CFC 2021 - Places – Connect – People * Light Up CFC 2021 - Climate Change * Light Up CFC 2021 - Fire Your turn: Tune in through YouTube or Spotify.

We are collecting ideas about places to visit – online, if we can’t travel, or for later, when the times are more opportune. Do send us the name and coordinates of your favourite forest or a remarkable ecosystem – could be any place on our planet Earth, big or small. It may be recreational, wildlife rich, a unique and sensitive ecosystem, a biodiverse or culturally significant location, and so on. For example, we challenge you to go bear-spotting, in particular, find the Spirit Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) who might or might not be here<https://trk.cp20.com/click/gcbo-2f88by-axwyo2-habgtnd6/>. We’ll post our CFC collection of your favourite places during the Conference. Who knows, you may be in for a place-hunt if you jump aboard the 20thCommonwealth Forestry Express 😊!
