Dear FORPATH and FORENT colleagues,
If you have been looking at the IUFRO 2024 World Congress website since June you may have noticed that we have put together an attractive Division 7-themed tour that many of you may be interested to join in the days after the Congress. It will be a 6 day, 5 night excursion going from Stockholm south, ending up in Malmö where people can easily and conveniently depart from Copenhagen International airport. The tour is geared more to forest scientists and will showcase many pest/pathogen/extreme climate and other management issues relevant to Scandinavian forests. There will of course be some touristic elements included and we promise excellent scenery enroute. Highlights of the tour are presented in the attached PDF. Feel free to circulate to others that might be interested to join.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Hope to see many of you there!
Kind regards,
Michelle

The forest entomology lab at the University of Minnesota has several
positions available:
- postdoc (spread of emerald ash borer, available fall 2023 or winter 2024)
- technician (cold tolerance of elongate hemlock scale, available fall 2023)

[Ein Bild, das Text, Schrift, Screenshot, Diagramm enth?lt. Automatisch generierte Beschreibung]Inclusion of women in the forest entomology and forest pathology workforce has been a difficult journey. While policies and resources exist for organizations and departments to increase diversity and retain women, there still exist large gaps in gender parity at forest research institutions globally. It is imperative that we better understand the barriers that exist for women in forest entomology and pathology so that more inclusive environments can be created that are welcoming towards women and other underrepresented groups. To assess these barriers and subsequent opportunities for improvement, we surveyed forest entomology and pathology professionals globally to ask about their experiences in the workforce. We also provide examples of trends in gender representation at relevant institutions. Barriers to success for women and men were very different; women experienced more barriers related to family caretaking while men experienced more barriers related to funding opportunities. These differences show where opportunities lie to better attract, support, and retain women in forest entomology and forest pathology. Although some trends in gender representation are promising, large gaps continue to exist which need to be addressed.

Greetings friends and colleagues,
Apologies for cross posting. Please consider joining us in Sweden next June (2024) for a special session at the IUFRO 2024 World Congress. The session ‘Public engagement to keep urban trees and communities healthy’ (details below) is accepting both oral and poster presentations. Please note the deadline for abstract submissions is June 15, 2023.
IUFRO XXVI World Congress Session in Stockholm Sweden, June 23-29 2024 (https://iufro2024.com/)
Title: Public engagement to keep urban trees and communities healthy
ID: 50013
Session type: Technical
Duration: 120 minutes
Congress theme: 4: Forests for sustainable societies
Oral and poster presentations welcome!
Organizers: Joey Hulbert1, Ana Perez-Sierra2, Rich Hallett3, Susan Hester4

4University of Melbourne; University of New England, Australia
Description: Much of the world’s populations live in cities where they rely on the services of healthy urban forests. Keeping city trees healthy is critical for mitigating the effects of heat waves and ensuring communities remain resilient to climate change. However, urban forests are often the front-lines against invasive pest introductions and their general presence in the built environment predisposes them to the effects of climate change. Given the density of people in urban environments, there is enormous opportunity for public engagement to monitor and study tree health. This session will highlight many projects and approaches for engaging communities in urban forest health research globally.
Abstracts can be submitted at https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstracts/
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We hope to see you there
We are grateful for the extension of abstract submission deadline by the congress organizers.
