Greetings forest entomology colleagues!

I'm quite excited about this meeting.
It is the inaugural meeting of the new IUFRO working party 7.03.13:
"Biological control of forest insects and pathogens" which is
meeting jointly with working parties 7.03.06 "Integrated management
of forest defoliating insects" and 7.03.07 "Population dynamics
of forest insects". Secondly, the site of the meeting, Eberswalde
is a beautiful town near Berlin and has a rich history related to the origins
both forestry and IUFRO. Thirdly, the local organizer, Andreas Linde,
is preparing an incredible program including a possible evening scenic
boat trip along the historic Finow canal as well as a fascinating all-day
excursion to nearby forestry research field locations. No doubt this
will be another important gathering of the world forest entomology community
and we will continue our tradition of building international cooperation
and collaboration.
I hope to see you there...
-Sandy
