Vancouver, WA USA • November 27-28, 2012

This IUFRO symposium is intended to provide a forum on the principles of nutrition in nursery seedlings and juvenile forest trees. Emphasis will be placed on the development of effective and environmen-tally sound technologies to optimize seedling quality and promote reforestation and forest restoration operations. The first day will focus on Nutrition in the Nursery and at Field Establishment and the second day will focus on Juvenile Stand Nutrition. The program is aimed toward an international audi-ence of nursery and forest practitioners, scientists, and educators. Selected papers will be published as a special issue in the international journal, New Forests.

The symposium is being organized by Western Forestry and Conservation Association, Purdue University, and USDA Forest Service with support from IUFRO divisions 1.01.03 (Temperate Forest Regeneration),

1.06.00 (Restoration of Degraded Sites), and 3.02.00 (Stand Establishment and Treatment).
