Restoring the West Conference 2013
ALL DAY
Change Agents and Managing for Forest Resilience. RESTORING THE WEST CONFERENCE 2013 CHANGE AGENTS AND MANAGING FOR FOREST RESILIENCE October 16-17, 2013 Utah State University RESTORING THE WEST CONFERENCE 2013 CHANGE AGENTS AND MANAGING FOR FOREST RESILIENCE
October 16-17, 2013, Utah State University, Logan, Utah
Management of forests in the West is occurring in the face of changing climate and shifting disturbance factors like bark beetles and fire. In some locations aspen stands are declining and bark beetles are causing large-scale conifer mortality. The 2013 Restoring the West Conference will bring scientists, landowners, and managers together to focus on using science and policy to manage for increased forest resilience as we confront a variety of change agents. There will be two days of plenary sessions and a poster session. Poster submissions are requested. Pre-conference Reception for Western Aspen Alliance members Oct. 15, 5:30-8:00 p.m. at the Caine House.
