professionals in natural resources to conduct a practical research 
project at the World Forestry Center. In addition to projects, Fellows 
participate in weekly field trips, interviews and site visits to 
Northwest forestry organizations, research labs, universities, public 
and private timberlands, trade associations, mills, and corporations. 
The Fellowship is a unique opportunity to learn about sustainable 
forestry from the Pacific Northwest forestry sector, and to work with 
colleagues from around the world. Fellowships are open to any country, 
including U.S. citizens. The Fellowship program offers partial 
scholarships through the Harry A. Merlo Foundation, but all applicants 
must be able to cover at least 50% of the program fee. Over 85 Fellows

*/2)/**/International Educators Institute - Term: July 8-14, 2012/ -* 
Application deadline February 28, 2012. The International Educators 
Institute is an innovative forest study tour for environmental 
educators, natural resource managers and conservationists. Combining 
content-rich, hands-on experiences in the field with a multicultural 
exchange of best practices in education and research, IEI seeks to 
advance effective outreach, teaching and learning about social, 
economic, and environmental challenges facing the world's forests. 
World-class scenery, special behind-the-scenes tours, and interviews 
with local people are combined with peer-to-peer leadership development.
