Dear IUFRO RG1.09 colleagues,
I hope you started the year in good shape. As We agreed in Sweden last
June, we need to give more visibility to our group during this term.
1) For a start, I have received the attached questionnaire from a EU
project in which they want to collect information (metadata) about
close to nature silviculture in mixed forests. Feel free to fill the
data, even if it is not complete, and send it.
2) If you have any project information or paper or news about mixed
forests or mixed-species plantation you want to share in the RG1.09
IUFRO site/mailing list, please, let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Online Symposium: Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation 19 Jan 2023
The International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) and the International Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters (IFWG-SAF) are offering the online symposium “Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation” on Friday 19 January 2023 for 2.5 hours, at 7-930am Seattle, 10am-1230pm Washington DC, 10pm-1230am Jakarta.
The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America, continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry, conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the influence of the TFF continues today.
Symposium information is posted at https://tropicalforesters.org/blog/2024/01/13/online-symposium-legacy-of-th…. Find your time zone at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.

WEBINARS on using the Restor platform for your restoration project
You need to get the word out on your restoration project to connect with
collaborators, funders, and geo-relevant information. The Restor platform
can help you with all three functions. By listing their restoration
projects on the platform, ISTF members will gain visibility to both
potential collaborators and funders. They will be able to explore
site-specific ecological data for planning and monitoring of their
projects. Restor, the International Society of Tropical Foresters, and
Terraformation are teaming up to offer a training webinar (same content) on
4 occasions for different regions on how to load your restoration project
on the Restor platform. Dates and times (find your time zone at
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html)

Dear all:
We have formed a new coordination team for the IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 on Resource Data in the Tropics. The focus of the Working Party will be on legacy tropical forest data sets: finding them, getting them and their metadata archived in an up-to-date digital format, and getting these data available for use, with appropriate protocols and credit to the sources of the data.
We invite you to join our email list at <https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/> https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ , where we discuss issues related to these datasets.
