This year, the Northeast Forest Health Workshop is being held jointly with
the spring meeting for the New England Society of American Foresters on
Wednesday through Friday, May 15-17, at the Sunday River Resort near
Bethel, Maine . The full conference is entitled, "What's in Your Woods?"
The program will start with a joint session from 1 pm to 3 pm, and then
we’ll have our own indoor session from 3:30 to 5 pm. People who have agreed
to give talks at this time include Nicholas Brazee (wood-inhabiting fungi),
Don Davis (fungal biocontrol of tree-of-heaven), Dale Bergdahl (butternut
health), Shawn Kenaley (fungal pathogens of hardwood plantations), and a
group presentation on ash health and the Emerald Ash Borer. After dinner
on our own, we can return for station reports from 7 to 9 pm.
On Thursday, an all-day field trip is planned. In the morning, Isabel Munck
(USFS, Durham) and William Ostrofsky (Maine Forest Service) will host a
tour of white pine needle damage/defoliation and Sirococcus shoot blight of
eastern hemlock and red pine.
In the afternoon, Bill Livingston (UMaine), Kara Lorion (UMaine), Colleen
Teerling (Maine Forest Service), and Nate Siegert (USFS, Durham) will host
a tour involving ash dieback/decline and monitoring for the emerald ash
borer, including hands-on demonstrations for girdling EAB trap trees.
We are also talking with the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance to have
representatives attend the meeting, and they would discuss the use of ash
from their perspective and the need to conserve healthy brown ash (=black
ash) with basket-quality wood.
Thursday evening will have a bar-b-q that's included in the registration
cost.
Friday morning will include another field trip. We'll travel on our own
from Sunday River Resort to Wolfe's Neck State Park on the coast near
Freeport, Maine. Alison Kanoti (Maine Forest Service) has arranged a tour
in the region to view a winter moth infestation, a browntail moth
infestation site where a BTM virus has been released, and a hemlock woolly
adelgid infestation where predatory beetles have been released. The tour
will end around noon after which LL Bean and factory outlets await you.
Early-bird registration cost is $99 including field trip transportation and
all meals on Thursday and breakfast & box lunch on Friday. After March 15,
registration increases to $120. Student registration is $70. Registration
rates go up after April 15.
Hotel rooms will be $79 per night at a nearby inn or $94 per night at the
Summit Resort which has the meeting rooms. To make reservations contact the
Reservation Department directly: (800) 207-2365. Please request the NESAF
room rate for the "NESAF 93 Annual Meeting 2013"
The group rates are available until April 15, 2013.
More program information is on NESAF web site: http://nesaf.org/
Registration is done on line at:
http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=ubvoh9lab&oeidk=a07e6x…
Be sure to select Tour 6 and Friday Tour 3.
Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you in May!

On behalf of the organizers, Imperial College London, Forest Research UK, the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) and other partners, we invite you to electronic conference:
"Pathways Into Policy: International knowledge exchange on biosecurity governance and implications for tree pest introductions and spread"
which will run until 13th March 2013.
The e-conference focuses on the knowledge gaps and research priorities and will be organized around three themes:
Theme 1: Defining key pathways and assessing their significance
Theme 2: Comparing approaches to pathway management and tree pest and disease prevention
Theme 3: Exploring underlying justifications for pathway management and tree pest and disease outbreak prevention
We invite you to submit a contribution (no more than 300 - 500 words (approximately one page)). All major contributors will appear as co-authors on the report to Living with Environmental Change program (LWEC). Informal comments are also welcome.
To subscribe to the e-conference, please go to http://pathwaysintopolicy.forumotion.co.uk.
In case of any difficulties subscribing, please contact Emily Porth, emilyfp(a)gmail.com.
This project is funded by Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) Tree Health and Biosecurity Initiative, please go to http://www.lwec.org.uk/ for further details.
We do hope you can join us.

Postdoc/Researcher at Skog og landskap (Norway) to study spruce bark beetle transcriptomics/genomics
The Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute (located in Ås just south of Oslo) has an open position for a post-doctoral fellow/researcher (bioinformatics/transcriptomics). This is part of a Norwegian Research Council FRIMEDBIO project. There are three organisms of interest in this project; Norway spruce, the spruce bark beetle (which attack spruce) and its mutualistic blue stain fungus Ceratocystis polonica. The project aims to elucidate the tripartite nature of the tree colonization process of the beetle-fungus complex, particularly when conifer defences are induced or primed by prior treatments. Next Generation Sequencing of the beetle, the fungus and the host tree transcriptome will be used to generate a molecular ecological portrait of the mutualistic tree colonization process by the tree-killing bark beetle-fungus complex, and to explore how this process can defeat plant defences.
The position is open from summer 2013 (1 August or earlier). The application deadline is 17 March, 2013.

Hi All-
We are looking for a PhD student to work on a fully funded project
looking at the effects of even and uneven aged forest management.
This project will take place in Northern Sweden at SLU.

If you would be so kind as to pass it on to all interested candidates,
we would be grateful-

Subject: IUFRO Work Unit on Invasive Species in International Trade meeting late Oct 2013 in China
Dear colleagues -
The IUFRO Work Unit on Invasive Species in International Trade will meet Oct 23-Nov 1 in Qingdao, China. Our meeting will overlap with the 2nd International Congress on Biological Invasions and the International Forestry Quarantine Research Group (IFQRG). The dates above include all three meetings. This overlap will allow for extended opportunities for networking, topnotch presentations, and for participating in IFQRG, which has the opportunity to influence the policies of the International Plant Protection Convention. It's a golden opportunity!
See attached file for more information on the sessions that are planned, and please let me know if you would like to be put on the Conference mailing list, to receive more information once hotel and registration costs are known.
