Dear IUFRO 1.05 Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group Members:
Several important updates for you:
The recent conference in Slovenia was a big success. The conference took
place in Ljubljana and included more than 90 participants from 28
countries. It was an excellent meeting with wonderful weather, great
presentations, and was extremely well-organized. Congratulations to Jurij
Diaci and the rest of the organizing committee for their efforts to make
this conference so successful. The post-conference tour viewed many
uneven-aged forests in Slovenia and Croatia and was also a delightful
experience. Congratulations to Andrej Boncina for his work leading this
excellent tour.
More information on the meeting is available at:

Selected papers from the meeting will be published in a special issue of
the international journal Forestry that is due out in 2011.
This is my last email to you as the coordinator of the Uneven-aged
Silviculture Research Group. I'm sure I can speak for the deputy
coordinators, Hubert Hasenhauer, Susan Hummel and Shi Zuomin, that we have
enjoyed working with you and leading this group the past 10 years.
Beginning in January 2011, the group's new officers will be Gary Kerr,
Hiromi Mizunaga, and Eric Zenner. Their contact information is below. I am
confident that with their enthusiasm this research group will continue to
be among the most active in all of IUFRO. But the success of any IUFRO
Research Group is dependent on the work of volunteers to host and organize
meetings and to the participants who make it all worthwhile. Thanks to
all of you for making this Research Group so successful.
Kevin O'Hara
