Dear colleagues:
We are extending the abstract deadline for the joint IUFRO working parties "Foliage, shoot, and stem diseases" (7.02.02) and "Rusts of Forest Trees" (7.02.05). Abstracts are now
due on March 21st 2022. Hopefully, by then, it will be easier to make decisions about travel. The meeting will take place in Durham, New Hampshire, USA. Durham is home to the
University of New Hampshire, offers the best of both worlds--breathtaking scenery and the slower pace of New England country and small-town life.
With the seacoast city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire only 12 km to the east there are many good restaurants (excellent seafood) and hotels. It is easy to travel to Durham because close to Boston, MA 1 hour to the south. The Acadian forests are a temperate
broadleaf and conifer mix ecoregion and there is no shortage of complex pathology issues including beech bark disease, beech leaf disease, shoot blights, foliar diseases, Armillaria and other root rots, Diplodia & butternut canker and many others. We have
organized field trips close to the meeting location to avoid traveling long distances by bus. Fortunately, the university is surrounded by beautiful forests in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean! We hope that you will consider attending the Joint Meeting
and help us disseminate the announcement. We look forward to hearing from you, Isabel Munck, Salvatore Moricca, and Julio Diez Casero
