Rådgivande Grupp Skogsodlingsmaterial (Rådgivande organ till SkogForsks förädling) är inplanerat 17-18 september i Uppsala. "Föreningen" har ett extra sammanträde 10 sept.

Det finns avancerade planer på en forskarskola med anknytning till SkogTrädsförädling. Närmare information kan lämnas av Bengt Andersson.

Svenskar skogsträdsförädlare kanske skulle vilja delta i avelsarbetet för att åstadkomma en bättre ny skog, det låter som om New Forest avel, vore en intressant länk i det sammanhanget...

Comments: IT is dynamic, rules, program, webmasters ideas, security constraints, links, administrative factors, and my own ideas are not constant over time and IT-environments and I make mistakes sometimes. Thus, do not be too surprised if things do not work as I expected them to (e.g. links do not work or you are not authorized to look). If something worked before it may still be at this web, but on another place, try browsing. Get in touch with me if you really want to solve a problem.
