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.

Early-bird registration pricing is good through September 30, 2013.

A poster session will be held during lunch on Wednesday, October 16th from 12:10 to 1:30 pm at the Eccles Conference Center. Poster submissions are encouraged from anyone wanting to highlight their work and ideas for change agents and managing for forest resilience. The deadline for submissions is September 28, 2012, though submitting earlier may help assure that we have space for your poster.
