Tim's question is a little unclear. It does not say if
he is looking for servers or the lists they are serving!
If he's looking for the lists, he does not say what kind
of lists. There are THOUSANDS of lists in various servers.

Here is an excerpt from the instructions of the revised listserv:

Send the command LIST GLOBAL to get a listing of all the lists in all the
LISTSERVs throughout the world. This command should be sent to your
closest LISTSERV (since all LISTSERVs have the same global list). Note
that this file is rather large (over 3500 lines). To get a subset of the
global file, send the command: LIST GLOBAL string. You will get a listing
of all lists which contain 'string' in the listname, host computer, or
title.

A collection of forest-related lists are included in
the Forestry virtual library: http://www.metla.fi/info/vlib/Forestry.html
