SUMMARY:Drought adaptation of forests in Europe - Practical strategies
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE continues the journey to delve into measures we might take at regional\, national\, and international levels to support Europe’s forests to adapt to drought\, to unravel the science behind these recommendations\, and to provide practical guidance on the measures. \nRelevant topics we will cover in this second webinar on the topic of drought stress are: \n\nLook at the extreme drought event in 2018 in Central-Europe and its devastating impact on beech forests and discuss about recovery from drought stress.\nSecondly\, introduce a decision support tool used in Germany for providing forest owners with science-based choices for future mixed forest stands.\nLook at the positive effects thinnings have on drought tolerance of forests\, minimizing vulnerability to drought of existing forests in the short term.\nTalk about pine and mistletoe\, the latest scientific insights on the parasitic relationship\, and measures taken by forest management in Switzerland and Poland.\n\nThis webinar is open to everyone interested and is part of the FOREST EUROPE’s “From the roots to the canopy” series\, this time organized in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest\, Snow\, and Landscape Research (WSL). \nSee the agenda here. \nRegister here and participate!

SUMMARY:High-Level Talks 2023 | Growing healthier forests: How can Sustainable Forest Management enhance resilience?
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE develops common strategies at the pan-European level for its 46 signatories on how to protect and sustainably manage their forests (www.foresteurope.org). The idea of this High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) 2023 is based on the Bratislava Ministerial Declaration 2021 as well as the Forest Europe Work Programme priorities and follows guidance provided by the General Coordinating Committee (GCC) to react to emerging issues promptly. \nThe current scenario we are facing at the national and international forestry level leads to a critical debate: How can Sustainable Forest Management maintain and enhance resilience in your forest\, considering social\, economic\, and environmental factors?  \nThis event will be hosted by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Berlin having a hybrid character. FOREST EUROPE high-level policymakers responsible for forests and forestry and high-level representatives from FOREST EUROPE observer organizations and other interested stakeholders will be invited to this meeting. The interested public can join this event in Berlin or online. \nThe host of this event is the German Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture\, Mr. Cem Özdemir. Our panel discussions in Berlin will bring together ministers and other high-level policymakers with representatives of environmental organizations\, forest practitioners\, researchers\, youth\, and landowners to provide a space promoting shared understanding and synergies in the pan-European region and beyond. \nThe event will have two consecutive panel discussions where participants can interact directly with high-level speakers during the debate. To set the scene\, renowned researchers will present their latest findings. \nCheck our High-Level Talks website to stay updated.

SUMMARY:Joint Workshop | Living with storms: towards resilience and adaptation to forest disturbances
DESCRIPTION:The Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg\, the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest\, Snow and Landscape and FOREST EUROPE are organizing a joint workshop in order to exchange on the recent experiences with windstorm damages across forests in Europe\, the consequences and management strategies. Results will be directly used to develop a policy brief including recommendations for policy makers. During the event participants will have the chance to become part of a network\, establish strong partnerships across pan-Europe to prevent and better control disturbances caused by storm events. \nThe workshop is part of FOREST EUROPEs work towards the implementation of a pan-European forest risk knowledge facility (FoRISK) to support forests adaptation to changing climatic and site conditions as well as to enhance the resilience and mitigation potential of forests at a pan-European level. \n\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Joint Workshop: Managing Biotic Threats in Forests - Lessons Learned from Bark Beetle Calamities
DESCRIPTION:czcExtreme heat events and droughts have intensified due to climate change\, and bark beetle outbreaks have reached unprecedented levels in conifer forests challenging traditional management approaches in production forests and leading to increasing public and political awareness. The need for coordinated international actions and a more comprehensive management framework also recognizing the social dimension of forest disturbances is growing. \nTherefore\, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and FOREST EUROPE are organizing a joint workshop in order to exchange knowledge on the best practices and allow for the adoption and transfer of innovative solutions while establishing cooperation and strong partnerships across pan-Europe to prevent and better control biotic threats such as bark beetle outbreaks. \nThe workshop is part of FOREST EUROPE’s work towards the implementation of a pan-European Forest Risk Knowledge Facility (FoRISK) to support forest’s adaptation to changing climatic and site conditions as well as to enhance the resilience and mitigation potential of forests at a pan-European level. \nCheck here the programme of the workshop. \n\nPreliminary Agenda \nThis joint workshop is scheduled to take place from May 30 to June 1 2023 in Breznice\, Czech Republic\, and will be hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. \n30 May 2023\n–  Arrival of Participants \n–  Transfer to the venue from Prague airport/city center \n–  Small refreshment \n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Welcome dinner \n31 May 2023\n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Lunch \n–  Excursion \n–  Dinner \n01 June 2023\n–  Wrap up session \n–  Lunch \n–  Transfer to Prague Airport with an estimated arrival at 14:30.

SUMMARY:SILVA Network Annual Conference: Communication – a neglected topic in higher forestry education and further education?
DESCRIPTION:Human life on Earth can only be sustained with the survival and proper functioning of natural systems\, especially forests. However\, large-scale deforestation and forest degradation takes place in many countries in the world. In other parts of the World\, the unstoppable process of urbanization increasingly leads to the physical and mental separation of people from nature. More and more this is resulting in total refusal of active measures in forests aiming at wood production. In political decision-making and economic processes\, you barely find representatives of forest related sciences. While we are exceeding the limits of our planet’s carrying capacity\, awareness of that wicked problem is limited and nature-based solutions are underrepresented in the political discussions on problem solving. What can professionals of higher forestry education and further education do against the unfavourable processes described here? How can the gap be bridged between the knowledge background and perceptions of forest scientists\, political decision makers and lay men? And how can this be used to adapt the contents of teaching and further education in forest and nature related disciplines? \nThese questions will be addressed in the SILVA Network Annual Conference\, held at the University of Sopron on April\, 11 – 13th 2023. The program includes inspiring presentations and a full-day excursion into the educational forests of Sopron University and the nearby national park. \nIt pays to be quick: An early bird rate applies until February 21st. Please also keep an eye at the deadline for abstract submission if you are interested to present. \nPlease go to the SILVA Network website to register.
