Dear colleagues, I am delighted to announce that the next joint meeting of the IUFRO working parties 2.02.15 (Breeding and genetic resources of five-needle pines) and 7.02.05 (Rusts of forest trees) will take place in Invermere, British Columbia, Canada, on July 22-26, 2019, with an extended field trip on July 26-30, 2019. This beautiful site is in the heart of the Columbia Basin, flanked to the west by the Purcell Mountains and to the East by the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The attached announcement provides some details and asks for an initial response from those interested in either or both of these working groups. The Proceedings of the previous joint meeting of these two IUFRO working parties, that was held in June 2014 in Fort Collins, Colorado, are available here: https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20200/20215/public… Please feel free to disseminate this announcement. I hope to see many of you next year in British Columbia.
