Predicting Behavior of Forest Diseases as Climate Changes – November 3, 2010 and December 2, 2010

Please join us for a free hour-long webinar to address the potential synergistic effects of climate change and forest diseases on tree and forest health.   Speakers will present case studies of sudden aspen decline, Swiss needle cast, Alaska yellow cedar decline and other diseases to illustrate drivers of tree declines and management options to minimize the undesirable effects of forest diseases as climate changes. The hour concludes with questions and answer among speakers and participants.

This webinar will be offered twice: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 from 1:15-2:15 P.M. and again on  Thursday, December 2, 2010 from 9:30-10:30 A.M. The number of participants for each session is limited so please register soon.  We will reply with a toll-free call in number and a link to the online webinar.
