Dear WP members,
As Landscape Ecology Working Party (8.01.02), this year we are
celebrating the 30th anniversary. We will have a webinar on September 28
to celebrate it with old and new members. We will share our experiences,
stories and feelings about the past, present and future of the group.
We would like to have your contribution to a short survey we are
conducting to know your areas of knowledge,
geographical/landscape/ecosystems of interest and other info that is
relevant for us to understand current and future interests of the group.
Please reply to the survey here: https://forms.gle/wCeFhp9ij7vxCPMk7
We will share the results with you during the webinar. Since we are a
bit short of time, please reply by September 26.
We are very appreciative of the time you have taken to share your info
with us in this survey.
