I have participated in these webinars in the past and have found them to be very good. However, you do need a high speed internet connection.....sorry highlanders. I hope all is well. Paul Forest Resources Specialist University of Massachusetts Amherst 413.545.4839 http://www.masswoods.net ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Forestry Internet seminar focuses on diseases of forest trees Forest trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases. Some diseases are a normal part of the forest ecosystem while others have the potential to kill large numbers of trees. On October 15, 2008 join Rebecca Hargrave who will provide an Internet web seminar on Diseases of Forest Trees in the Northeastern United States. Participants will learn about the biology of several tree diseases, their impact on forests, and management strategies to minimize their impact. This webcast is part of Cornell University's monthly ForestConnect Internet seminar series. The ForestConnect Internet Seminar Series is an interactive web conference and was the first of its kind in the US. Each seminar uses the Internet to distribute, or webcast, a live and interactive presentation. Since May 2007, web-based seminars have connected forest owners, managers, and practitioners from throughout the United States and overseas. More than 800 owners and managers from 40 states and three countries are registered and receiving announcements for the monthly webcasts. Seminars occur on the third Wednesday of each month. Each webcast is provided live, twice. The initial broadcast each month is from noon to 1:00 PM with a repeat live broadcast the same day from 7:00 to 8:00 PM, Eastern Time. Participation is as easy as a high-speed Internet connection via a web browser. Participants will connect to a secure Cornell Cooperative Extension server to join the presentation. Participants must pre-register once, without charge, at www.ForestConnect.info. Email notification of Internet URL details will be sent to everyone registered. Peter J.
