Dear colleagues,
Following our session at the 25th IUFRO World Congress, we have launched an international mailing-list to connect forest health researchers interested in public engagement (specifically including, but not limited to, citizen science).
The purpose of the mailing-list is to connect a global
network of project leaders to share resources and ideas.
Anyone working in the space between forest health and
society is welcome to join.
You can join by visiting
https://groups.io/g/ForestHealthCitSci or by emailing the address below with a blank message. Note that you
do not need a
groups.io account to subscribe. You can also indicate whether you want to receive email digests or individual emails.
We hope project leaders will use the network to:
- share resources and opportunities (guides, publications, data, grant opportunities, jobs, post-grad positions, etc.).
- organize events (conference sessions, webinars, working groups, etc.)
- collaborate on writing (special issues, commentaries, responses to opinions, popular writing, etc).
- provide/seek ideas and guidance in project development and
achievement (project design, recruitment, engagement, analyses,
training, etc).
- and more (anything relevant to public engagement and/or forest health).
Thank you for your time and attention.
