The 2007 Workshop is being hosted by Purdue University Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at the Bloomington Indiana Convention Center, in the heart of Indiana's beautiful hardwood forest region. We are proud to be hosting this year's workshop. The 19th North American Forest Biology Workshop is the most recent in a series of biennial technical conferences that began at Michigan State University in 1970.

Sponsored by the Tree Physiology and Forest Genetics working groups of the Society of American Foresters, the conference was originally conceived as a forum for scientists concerned principally with tree physiology and forest genetics. It has since evolved into a "must attend" event for exchange of technical information and ideas amongst scientists working in many areas of basic forest biology, ecology, silviculture, genetics and conservation throughout North America.


The 2004 Workshop, hosted by the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (SFRES) on the campus of Michigan Technological University, addressed the theme "Managing Resources in the 21st Century: An Integrated Approach."

It is the goal of the Workshop to provide a forum where scientists and natural resource professionals from government, academia, industry, and conservation can work together to begin to position society to best preserve the ecological capacity of forest and aquatic ecosystems, while meeting human demands in the coming century.
