Re: [IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] Tree Resistance Advocacy Group
by Bonello, Enrico
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to share the new website for the Tree Resistance Advocacy Group (TRAG): https://trag.osu.edu <https://trag.osu.edu/>.
For those not familiar with TRAG, information on our group can be found on the homepage. You will also find a list of current signatories and endorsers, and a place for you to become a signatory (https://trag.osu.edu/become-signatory <https://trag.osu.edu/become-signatory>), if interested. Our intention is to use the strength of hopefully, many, worldwide signatories to demonstrate relevance and engage government and other agencies in an effort to promote our vision, described in our one page declaration (attached; link also embedded in the home page).
If you have any ideas, events, or news that would fit in the spirit of the effort, please let me know and I will add them to the site.
On a different note, please consider submitting your manuscripts to section, ‘Pests, Pathogens and Invasions’ within Frontiers in Forests and Global Change. Kimberly Wallin (U. Vermont and USDA Forest Service) and I are the Specialty Chief Editors: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/forests-and-global-change/sections/pes… <https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/forests-and-global-change/sections/pes…>. We are particularly interested in ideas and volunteers for special issues. We look forward to your submissions!
