I wish to point out to Rick (and everyone else who may have
an interest related to tree seed) that their is a list-serve
discussion group that specifically addresses tree seed issues
and problems. The following is a copy of an announcement
describing this group that was posted last year.
--------------------------------------------
Dear 'Tree Seed' Colleague:
Since 1983, the seed research unit at Petawawa National Forestry
Institute, (PNFI) has been supporting the Tree Seed Working Group
of the Canadian Tree Improvement Association, in developing and
maintaining a research/technology network among seed workers. The
Working Group includes most of the people in Canada having tree
seed interests as well as a few individuals in the USA, Africa,
China, Finland, Sweden, India, and other countries. They are
concerned with seed physiology, development, germination,
production, pest control, or tree improvement research, with seed
procurement, processing, storage, or testing technology, with seed
orchard management, with seed certification and sales, or with seed
utilization.
The Working Group's networking activities currently involve
arranging for tree seed to be a subject for discussion at workshops
and professional meetings, twice yearly publishing a Newsbulletin
(English), maintaining a directory of seed workers, and as
individuals, voicing support for tree seed work and distributing
research/technology information in all possible ways both within
and outside the Group.
The seed research unit at PNFI recognizes that the distribution of
tree seed research/technology information can be further enhanced
by the establishment of an email discussion group on the INTERNET
and would willingly accepts the responsibility of managing such a
facility.
I am now pleased to announce that an international electronic mail
listserver-discussion group for tree seed has been set up.
This discussion group is a forum for rapid exchange of research/
technology information, ideas, and opinions related to topic tree
seed and also welcomes announcements of meetings, calls for papers,
help/employment wanted messages, and book reviews.
It operates in a very simple manner. Group members mail the various
types of information indicated above to the address:-
<TREESEED@PNFI.FORESTRY.CA>
where it is copied and forwarded automatically to all members of
the group. This exchange of messages keeps everyone informed on
any ongoing discussion and allows everyone to participate.
The group's membership list is managed by a 'listserver'. To join
the discussion group simply send a message to the listserver
address:-
<LISTSERV@PNFI.FORESTRY.CA>
with the following single line message:
SUBSCRIBE TREESEED YourFirstName YourLastName
A message confirmating that your name has been added to the
list will be sent to you.
Membership in this group is open to everyone expressing an interest
in tree seed. Please feel free to pass on this information sheet
to any colleague that you think would be interested.
Many of the articles submitted to the Canadian Tree Improvement
Association - Tree Seed Newsbulletin will be copied to the discussion
group mailing list, and vice-versa. The Newsbulletin provides a service
to those without electronic mail access, but is only available in english.
Requests for subscriptions to the Newbulletin may be addressed to me at
PNFI.
