Madison, WI — The Northern Hardwood Conference 2021, a virtual event, will be held June 15 and 16, 2021. The theme is Bridging Science and Management for the Future. Registration opened March 22.
Northern Hardwood forests occupy millions of acres in the eastern United States and Canada, representing one of the most economically important and ecologically diverse forests in eastern North America.
The Northern Hardwood Conference was initiated by a diverse group of professionals wishing to facilitate collaboration across the northern Hardwood range. A major northern Hardwood conference has not been held in the Lake States in over 30 years, and rarely has there been an opportunity for researchers and forest managers from across the range to compare notes. In addition, conference organizers hope to establish the Northern Hardwood Conference as a valuable forum to be held on a biennial basis throughout the eastern United States and Canada.
Keynote presentations this year will be made by Christel Kern, USDA Forest Service; Anthony D’Amato, University of Vermont; Steve Bedard, with the government of Quebec; and Nicole Rogers, University of Maine-Fort Kent.
