Dear Colleagues,

Happy new year to all of you and all the best for 2012!

In December, we posted the second issue of our new forest pathology newsletter to the IUFRO website.  You can access the newsletter through this link:  http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/newsletters/

The content of the newsletter includes:
1.  A message from the coordinator, Jolanda Roux, FABI, South Africa
2.  An open letter from Kerry Britton, US Forest Service
3.  A summary of the meeting of working party 7.02.01, root and butt rots, by Matteo Garbelotto, UC Berkeley
4.  A summary of the recent joint forest protection meeting in Uruguay, by Roberto Scoz, INIA, Uruguay
5.  A list of upcoming meetings

As you can see, the newsletter is truly international and it is another mechanism by which we can communicate with our colleagues.  Contributions are welcome, please contact either Jolanda or Tod if you would like to submit an article.

Regards, Jolanda Roux and Tod Ramsfield
