Dear NAFIWC attendees and all forest health enthusiasts, It is with great excitement that I announce the first ever North American Forest Insect Work Conference in the Great Lakes region. That's right, the next NAFIWC will be held May 25-28, 2021 on the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota! Duluth has been voted the Best Outdoor City in America for its 7,000 acres of parkland, 225 miles of trails, and 7 miles of sandy beaches (don't worry, there are plenty of golf courses, too). There are also myriad opportunities to explore our amazing northern forests and their forest health issues. Finally, there's plenty to do indoors, with nine breweries, Fond-du-Luth Casino, the Duluth Playhouse and much more all within a short distance of the venue. For more information check out www.visitduluth.com. Keep an eye out for future announcements including calls for symposia and other opportunities to be involved! Best wishes, Jess Hartshorn Clemson University Jessica.a.hartshorn(a)gmail.com
