Proposed Sessions for APS Annual Meeting

Committee members have been very active in developing the traditional, pre-meeting Forest Pathology Field Trip and two symposia. • During the two day field tour, urban and rural forest disease problems will be presented and discussed as participants visit the Teaching/Research/Extension Nursery on the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota and then embark on a series of stops to and from Duluth, MN. Logging history and riparian tree diseases will be viewed during the return trip via the St. Croix River Valley. An optional 4 hour canoe trip on the river may be offered following the last field stop. Contact person: Joe O’Brien, email: jobrien@fs.fed.us • George Hudler, gwh2@cornell.edu, has been planning a special symposium on “Major Invasive Forest Epidemics: What Lessons Have We Learned?” • Bryce Richardson, brichardson2@fs.fed.us, has been working with several other committee members to develop a symposium on “Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Diseases in Natural Ecosystems.” The symposium organizers are currently awaiting final word as to whether the revised versions of their proposed sessions have been officially accepted.
