Hello Forpathers and Forenters,
This is addressed to US-based scientists and others (including managers) interested in tree resistance to pathogens and insects as a tool to manage invasions.
If you are not one of these people, please free to discard the message! Also, I apologize for the multiple messages if you are on both lists.
Caterina Villari (D.B. Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia) and I have prepared a document in response to a USDA NIFA request called “NIFA
Listens: Investing in Science to Transform Lives.” (Please see attached.) Our document is also attached.
Caterina and I would like to know if anyone in the US interested in tree resistance is also interested in co-signing the document. Unfortunately we do not have time to
edit or consider even minor changes, because the document is due into NIFA by the end of tomorrow, Dec. 1, 2017. If you are interested in co-signing the document AS IS, please send your name and affiliation to Caterina
cvillari@uga.edu.
Thank you all for your consideration of this request!
Enrico
