Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the local arrangements team I would like to remind you of some important dates for the upcoming meeting of IUFRO Working Party 7.02.02 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, from May 7 - 11, 2017. https://www.cif-ifc.org/iufroworkingparty2017/ The meeting will take place at the Hilton Niagara Falls, Fallsview Hotel and Suites and they have provided a very, very reasonable rate to us for the nights of May 7 - 11. To secure the special conference rate, reservations must be made by April 7 and mention "IUFRO" to receive the special rate. The meeting program for oral presentations is full; however, we would still like to receive abstracts for poster presentations and will take these up to March 24. Please note that the early bird regular registration rate of $650.00 CAD, and the student rate of $325.00 CAD, close on Sunday, March 19. On Monday, March 20, the rates will increase to the full registration fee of $750.00 CAD for regular attendance and $425.00 CAD for students. Retiree and single day registrations are also available. Registration can be paid right up to the beginning of the meeting. https://www.cif-ifc.org/events/iufroworkingpartyregistration/ We are excited to host this meeting and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Niagara Falls in May. Regards, Tod Ramsfield, Richard Wilson and Tom Hsiang.
