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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Liebhold 304-285-1512 Northern Research Station 304-285-1505 FAX USDA Forest Service 724-317-8668 mobile 180 Canfield St. aliebhold(a)fs.fed.us Morgantown, WV26505 USA http://sandyliebhold.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
