We are pleased to announce that The Thin Green Line, an international symposium
dealing with reforestation, will be held July 26, 27 and 28, 2005 in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
This announcement is a call for volunteer papers and posters to address the
following themes:
· Status of reforestation and afforestation around the world
· Nursery methodologies to produce target seedlings
· Planting and planting site treatments to optimize regeneration
· Enhancing timber production and non-timber values through stand
establishment.
Information on registration and how to submit abstracts for consideration
can be found at http://www.forestrenewal.ca/thingreenline. Space is
limited so we encourage early submission.
The Thin Green Line will bring together leaders in the practice and science
of reforestation for two days of presentations and a full day field & nursery tour
to see examples of present and past forestry practices in northwestern Ontario.
