MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
JULY 11-15, 2016
SEPT-ILES AND BAIE-COMEAU, QUÉBEC, CANADA
Dear members of the Boreal and Alpine Forest Ecosystems unit (IUFRO Unit 8.01.06),
It is my pleasure to announce that a traveling workshop on boreal forests will be held in Eastern Canada on 11-15 July 2016. The meeting will focus on “Climate-induced range shifts in boreal pest distribution and their ecological, economic and social consequences”, a topic of concern across the circumboreal forest domain.
The meeting will include field visits to insect-affected forests, as well as forest operations designed to recover affected trees. It will also feature prominent keynote speakers and venues located in close proximity to the majestic St-Laurence River.
The meeting organisation is being led by Louis De Grandpré, of the Canadian Forest Service, and co-sponsored by the International Boreal Forest Research Association (WWW.IBFRA.ORG). Further details on the program are posted on the IUFRO Calendar of Events (WWW.IUFRO.ORG/EVENTS), or can be obtained from Pierre Godbout
( <mailto:pierre.godbout@rncan-nrcan.gc.ca> pierre.godbout(a)rncan-nrcan.gc.ca).
The number of participants will be limited to 50. Please express your interest to participate as soon as possible.
