The first World Forestry Congress was held in Rome in 1926 and has generally taken place every six years in different host countries since then.
These meetings serve as a forum for governments, universities, civil society and the private sector to exchange views and experiences and to formulate recommendations to be implemented at the national, regional and global levels. The Congress also provides an opportunity to present an overview of the state of forests and forestry in order to discern trends, adapt policies and raise awareness among decision and policy makers, the public and other stakeholders.
Conference Description and Objective
The Central Hardwood Forest Conference is a series of biennial meetings that is dedicated to the sustainability and improvement of the Central Hardwood forest ecosystems. The objective of the conference is to bring together forest managers and scientists to discuss research and issues concerning the ecology and management of forests in the Central Hardwood region. The conference has been hosted by different institutes across the region. We are pleased to announce that the 17th Central Hardwood Forest Conference will be hosted by the University of Kentucky, Department of Forestry. The meeting will be held April 5-7, 2010 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Topic Areas
The 17th Central Hardwood Forest Conference will encompass topics related to the research and management of forest ecosystems in the Central Hardwood Region in the eastern United States. We welcome contributions in the following areas, as well as any related topics:

Forests and forest lands play a pivotal life-supporting role in the lives of Commonwealth citizens across the globe. They provide us all with many benefits including our livelihoods, vital ecosystem services, raw materials, fuel and goods for trading. Yet these benefits are being seriously eroded by the mounting momentum of deforestation.
If we are to restore the Commonwealth's forests and preserve and expand their role in development and tackling climate change, we need to share hard-won practical knowledge, and open up opportunities for the full and enthusiastic involvement of local populations in our endeavour.
The 18th Commonwealth Forestry Conference provides a unique chance to address these challenges and ways to fulfil the Commonwealth's commitment to contribute to global efforts on climate change.'
