ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS

9th Annual Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team

Research Colloquium

9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Friday, February 17th, 2012

Pacific Forestry Centre

506 West Burnside Road, Victoria, BC

Purpose: To allow those planning or conducting research and restoration pertinent to Garry oak ecosystems to make a brief presentation of their study/ies; to prompt discussion and encourage coordination among agencies; and to facilitate research and its application to the conservation of Garry oak and associated ecosystems.

Format: Presentations are 10-15 minutes each, followed by a brief question period. Presentation abstracts will be compiled into a Proceedings document, distributed (via email and website only) following the Colloquium. Note that persons unable to attend may also submit an abstract for inclusion in the Proceedings. New for 2012! We will be having a mini-panel discussion around a key research and conservation theme. Stay tuned for topic and speakers!

Presenters: Presenters are required to register by Friday, January 20th. An abstract (approx. 500 words) will need to be submitted for inclusion in the Proceedings before the event. Please indicate any preference for speaking time (morning or afternoon) in your registration. A digital projector will be provided and presenters requiring any additional audio-visual support should specify; a slide projector, overhead projector, or flip chart are also available upon request. Some travel support is available for presenters, especially students registered in a British Columbia institution. Please register early!

Registration: Attendance is free, although pre-registration is required to assist in our planning for the day. A cafeteria (cash only) is available for lunch at the participants’ own expense (with the exception of student presenters who will receive a free lunch). If you plan to buy a lunch, please let us know in your reply so that the cafeteria can be prepared. Refreshments will be provided free of charge during breaks.

Mark this date on your calendars and please publicize this event among your colleagues. We look forward to your participation.

See you there!
