The 2018 Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative Conference is just around the corner on December 14, 2018 in Burlington, VT, and we are pleased to release the agenda and announce that registration is open! This year’s theme is “Forests and Climate Change: Managing impacts and planning for the future”.

Conference Agenda Released

Attached is the latest agenda - including contributed talks, posters, and working group sessions – which is also available online at: https://www.uvm.edu/femc/cooperative/conference/2018/agenda. This year features a stellar plenary line-up, a record-breaking number of contributed talk submissions, and some phenomenal special working sessions in the afternoon (and it’s still not too late to propose one of your own!). We will continue to provide updates to the agenda on this page, so check back often. We are in the process of requesting SAF Continuing Forestry Education credits for this conference, last year, we were able to offer 4.5 CFE credits.

Registration Open

In addition, registration for the conference is now open at https://www.uvm.edu/femc/cooperative/conference/2018/register.  Registration costs $23 per person ($21 when you register in a group of 3 or more). When you register, we ask which afternoon working group session you expect to attend, and if you plan to attend the afternoon social hour and poster session.  Your answers to these questions are non-binding but important, as they will allow us to plan for the appropriate numbers at each event.  Thank you in advance.

The Dean's Office of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources has generously provided funds for 20 complimentary registrations for graduate students available on a first-come first-served basis. Write to John Truong to request a free graduate student registration.

Parking Information

For parking information please see:  http://www.uvm.edu/~tpswww/parking/visitor/ and plan to park in the Gutterson parking garage, as there won’t be enough space in the Jeffords lot. Those of you driving Vermont State and Federal vehicles may park in non-metered spaces without a permit.

 

If you have any questions about the conference or any issues registering, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to seeing you at the conference on December 14th!
