Agroforestry
Conference
CSTAF Director P.K. Nair, Assistant Director Michael Bannister and
Visiting Assistant Professor Sarah Workman will participate in the
Seventh Biennial Conference on Agroforestry in North America in August.
They will present a poster on CSTAF objectives and a white paper on the
potential for agroforestry in the Southeast. The conference, Aug. 13-15
in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is sponsored by the Association for
Temperate Agroforestry.
Silvopastures
Michael Bannister, CSTAF assistant director, will attend a leadership
workshop on silvopastures. The workshop, in Crestview, Fla., Aug. 21 and
22, is organized by U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Natural
Resource Conservation Service. This workshop and similar ones in
Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina are to prepare for silvopastoral
system training next year.
International
Training
CSTAF will train forestry officials from the Indian Council of Forest
Research and Education during a three-month course starting July 30.
Seven mid- and upper-level foresters and agro-foresters will participate
in the training, sponsored by CSTAF/SFRC and IFAS International
Programs. The training will target participants’ interests in
literature and database management, tree crop interaction, soil
analytical procedures, ecosystem processes, bioeconomic modeling and
other topics.
