We have made a revision to our mini-workshop of how science at Hubbard Brook can inform management (see attached)

Specifically, we have made time for Tony D'Amato on the Tuesday afternoon agenda. Tony is an associate professor of applied forest ecology at UVM and the local lead for the USFS Northern Region's initiative on Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC). He will provide an overview of this project. 

The ASCC project (see FAQ sheet) presents the potential for a large scale manipulation/experiment in Hubbard Brook Valley with all the attendant possibilities and pitfalls. The plans are developed enough where the Hubbard Brook COS needs to consider seriously the merits of the proposal. Tony's  presentation and subsequent discussion provides a starting point. 

Regards, 

John (for the SCC)
