The NCSAF plans to host two sessions at CapSci-08: 1) Dialogue Among Natural Resource Societies in the National Capital Area This session will include science leaders from a number of professional societies that share a focus on natural resource issues. Representatives will be asked to participate in a roundtable discussion on the impacts and future challenges among a number of trends, such as: global warming; bio-energy development; the threat of invasive species; and growing populations in the United States. Invited societies will include, but are not limited to:
2) Society of American Foresters Science Exhibition and Showcase This session will include poster and resource exhibits of SAF and NCSAF information for networking with other affiliated societies and the general public. NCSAF members and leaders will be on hand to discuss the mission and science goals of the Society, as well as network with other WAS-affiliated science groups. Please send your name, contact information, and short bio to me by COB February 8, 2008, if you would like to participate in either session as a speaker, to suggest speakers from other societies or to volunteer to staff the exhibit.
