[Rob Harrison]

2004 SAF North American Forest Biology Workshop

The 18th North American Forest Biology Workshop, sponsored by the
Physiology and Genetics Working Groups of the Society of American Foresters
and the USDA Forest Service, will be hosted by the School of Forest
Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Technological University,
July 11-15, 2004.  The Workshop theme will be ³Managing Forest Resources in
the 21st Century: An Integrated Approach².  The meeting will focus on the
state of the North American forest resource featuring the expansive forests
of the Upper Midwest, current environmental challenges, and how to preserve
ecological function while providing for an increasing diversity of demands
from society.  The vast aquatic and forest ecosystems, and rich history
make Michigan¹s beautiful Upper Peninsula an ideal venue for this year¹s
meeting.  Daily flights from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
make travel to Houghton convenient and a great place to vacation before or
after the meeting.  Preference will be given to abstracts submitted before
31 March.  For more information on the meeting program, travel and housing,
