Forest Entomology Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the next meeting of IUFRO Working Group 7.03.11 (Tree Resistance to Insects) will take place in 2009 the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy from 30 August – 2 September. The conference will occur in the area of San Vito di Cadore - Cortina d'Ampezzo Dolomites (the so-called 'queen of the Dolomites'). An optional hiking excursion will follow from 3-5 September, hiking by day through the Dolomites between "rifugi".

Please see the following link for call for papers, logistical details, and pre-registration information.
