Dear IUFRO 1.05 Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group Members: This is another update with information for our Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group. As before, my goal is to send out a similar update several times each year. Please forward this email to interested persons who might not be on this mailing list and encourage them to join the list server as indicated below. Recent Meetings: Our recent meeting in Shizuoka was a huge success. Congratulations to Hiromi Mizunaga and the Executive and Science Committees on a very well-organized meeting. There were over 100 participants and these included representatives from 20 countries. In the ten conference sessions, there were 99 presentations and five keynote presentations. The conference also included very successful pre- and post-conference tours The meeting also was successful in expanding our Research Group's inclusion of scientists working on tropical forests and from developing countries. Once again, everyone involved in the organization of this conference deserves a lot of credit for their hard work and the success of the meeting. A selection of papers from the conference will be reviewed for publication in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Forest Research in late 2009. IUFRO CONGRESS 22-28 August 2010, XXIII IUFRO World Congress, Seoul, Republic of Korea, "Forests for the Future: Sustaining Society and the Environment" . IUFRO is accepting proposals for session topics/speakers through 15 January 2009. Please contact me if you have ideas for sessions that you would like the Research Group to pursue. Future Meetings We would like to hold our next meeting in 2010 but are looking for possible locations and hosts. If you would like to host our next meeting or make a suggestion on a possible future site, please contact me. It is not too early to begin planning for a 2010 meeting. Note that the IUFRO Congress will be in August 2010 so we should not conflict with those dates. All suggestions are welcome!
