The concurrent sessions will provide ample time for discussion among the participants and their recommendations for future research, education, and technology transfer will be summarized and presented during the final general session. The sponsors and organizers of the Wildland-Urban Interface Conference invite you to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. We encourage natural resource professionals and planners to present new research results and examples of successful approaches and case studies from the interface. Presentations focusing on innovative ideas and programs for sustaining forests at the interface are especially welcome. Oral sessions will be organized by the topics listed above and individual talks will be limited to 15 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Posters also provide a valuable opportunity for scientific interaction.
They will be displayed throughout the conference and an evening reception will highlight the posters and exhibits. Posters will be limited to a space of 4 high x 8 wide. Abstracts MUST be submitted electronically via this web site. HERE for abstract instructions and submission. The registration fee includes a conference packet, an abstract booklet, one copy of the USDA Forest Service Southern WUI Assessment, a reception, a cookout, refreshment breaks and two lunches.
