This annual meeting of the Alaska SAF will address new research in Alaskan forestry and the economic impact that sustainable management of forests has in Alaska. You are invited to attend two days of presentations from professionals and researchers from all over the state. We've scheduled one day of site visits to demonstrate new technology for forest management and to visit a nursery growing local tree species. We will also be offering one day of training on SDMI products and image analysis.
