Future Under a Changing Climate
May be a topic of interest to many of you….
Some of us involved in the SAF Forest Health and Genetics working group
have organized a webinar for March 23 – I think SAF will be sending out
info this week – but wanted to give you an early alert. We obtained some
sponsorship that allowed us to open this to everyone (not just SAF members)
– so pass along to those who may be interested.
*Assisted Migration: Forestry in the Future Under a Changing Climate*
* Includes a Live Web Event on 03/23/2023 at 1:00 PM (EDT)*
*Webinar information*
Assisted migration, which is the movement of genotypes, populations,
species, or forests, has been extensively researched as an approach to
minimize the expected negative impacts of climate change on the health,
productivity, and ecosystem services of future forests. The local seed
source may no longer be adapted or optimal to meet land management
objectives, and this issue may be one of the most important challenges
foresters will need to deal with in the coming years. Fortunately, many
people study the issue and can provide tools to land managers to make the
best choice under the available data. The two talks here are aimed at
providing the why, the what, and the how of assisted migration to a general
audience including current knowledge, implementation, and future plans for
public lands. Before the conclusion of the session, participants will be
able to discuss the available tools that can facilitate decision-making to
ensure the resilience of their forests.
The webinar will be composed of two presentations, followed by a
Q&A/discussion session. The speakers are Dr. Brian Palik (Forest Ecologist,
US Forest Service, Northern Research Station) and Dr. Greg O’Neill (Forest
Geneticist, British Columbia Forest Service, Canada)
Join us at *1:00pm ET on March 23, 2023* for a live webinar here through
the SAF ForestEd platform.
Working groups are another way to receive, contribute, and add value to
your SAF membership. *LEARN MORE*

Dear Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you of the passing Dr. Paul Manion on Thursday, 2 March. Paul Manion was a beloved colleague and Professor of Forest Pathology for 36 years at the State University New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He had a significant impact on the thinking in Forest Pathology, and his textbook "Tree Disease Concepts" was adopted widely in forest pathology courses around the United States.
Paul was a great influence in many of his students' lives and lived his life consistent with his ideals and generosity of spirit. Paul and I became fast friends when I arrived here at ESF in July as the new forest pathologist from California. He took me around to his favorite field sites to become familiar with eastern tree diseases and shared many great stories with me along the way. He will be sorely missed.
Calling hours are on March 31, 2023 at 5:00 p.m., ending at 7:00 p.m., at Michael E. Brown Funeral Services, 2333 Fenner Road, Cazenovia.

Isabel Munck and I are working on an obituary for APS and IUFRO. Please let us know if you would like to contribute.
