by Andrew Liebhold
Dear colleagues,
I draw your attention to the new conference web site, https://iufro.czu.cz
<https://iufro.czu.cz/en/> detailing information about the conference,
"Biological Invasions in Forests: Trade, Ecology and Management" to be held
in Prague, Czech Republic, 14-18 September, 2020.
This is a joint meeting of IUFRO units:
7.03.12 - Alien Invasive Species and International Trade
7.03.07 - Population Dynamics of Forest Insects
8.02.04 - Ecology of Alien Invasives
The conference will focus on invasions of non-native insects, tree
pathogens, plants and other organisms in forest ecosystems. Topics
addressed will include the role of trade and travel as pathways for
invasions, the ecology and impact of non-native species in forests as well
as the management of invasions and biosecurity.
The conference will be held on the campus of the Czech University of Life
Sciences located in Prague and will include a 1-day field trip in addition
to contributed and invited scientific presentations.
Registration and submission of abstracts will begin in January.

Citizen science and forest health mailing-list
by Joey Hulbert
Dear colleagues,
Following our session at the 25th IUFRO World Congress, we have launched an
international mailing-list to connect forest health researchers interested
in public engagement (specifically including, but not limited to, citizen
science).
The purpose of the mailing-list is to connect a global network of project
leaders to share resources and ideas. Anyone working in the space between
forest health and society is welcome to join.
You can join by visiting https://groups.io/g/ForestHealthCitSci or by
emailing the address below with a blank message. Note that you* do not*
need a groups.io account to subscribe. You can also indicate whether you
want to receive email digests or individual emails.
- Post: ForestHealthCitSci(a)groups.io
- Subscribe: ForestHealthCitSci+subscribe(a)groups.io
- Unsubscribe: ForestHealthCitSci+unsubscribe(a)groups.io
- Group Owner: ForestHealthCitSci+owner(a)groups.io
- Help: ForestHealthCitSci+help(a)groups.io
We hope project leaders will use the network to:
- share resources and opportunities (guides, publications, data, grant
opportunities, jobs, post-grad positions, etc.).
- organize events (conference sessions, webinars, working groups, etc.)
- collaborate on writing (special issues, commentaries, responses to
opinions, popular writing, etc).
- provide/seek ideas and guidance in project development and achievement
(project design, recruitment, engagement, analyses, training, etc).
- and more (anything relevant to public engagement and/or forest health).
Thank you for your time and attention.
