More details on the field trip later. We can meet again Wednesday evening if needed. If you have already registered with Kerry Britton for the IUFRO meeting, I don't need any response from you. If you prefer just to attend just Tuesday and Wednesday, then YOU NEED TO SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH THE FOLLOWING BY APRIL 18. Name(s) (include a name for each person needing to register): Lodging: NCTC or elsewhere Nights for lodging at the NCTC: May 27, 28; other? After I receive this information, I'll notify you on how to pay the registration costs and to make the NCTC reservations.
