This Issue: */Land Classification (Part 3 of 3/)* and Some Other Good Things
*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? /Restoring Tropical Forest Riparian
-/ *Phillipe Saner writes*, *"I am looking for literature suggestions on
riparian forest restoration in the tropics. Preferably with a special
focus on South East Asia as our project is in North Borneo. But any
recommendation would be fine really." If you know of any information
that could help, please contact Philippe at philgesan at gmail.com

Symposium - Moving from Status to Trends. *Baltimore, MD, USA. */Note,
this is a change of dates from last week's posting. /*The US Forest
Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program is pleased to
announce the 2012 FIA Science Symposium. October 2012 will mark the 20th
anniversary of the Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Forest Inventory
and Analysis. This report expanded the focus of the national forest
inventory in the United States to include monitoring of the forest
resource trends on a more frequent time interval. In recognition of this
milestone, the theme of the 2012 FIA Science Symposium is "Moving from
Status to Trends." The Symposium will bring together international
forest scientists, managers, and stakeholders to share insights on
contemporary issues, science policy, mensuration, geospatial products,
inventory and monitoring methods, and other topics .A call for papers is
now open. For details see http://www.fia.fs.fed.us/symposium/. From Chip

*FOREST FRAGMENTS (Tip of the week)*If you have a tip to improve field
or office work that you would like to share, please send to me
(gyde at comcast.net <mailto:gyde at comcast.net>)
*Hands off -*Be careful with insect repellant when working in the woods.
Some types may damage objects made of plastic such as eyeglass and
camera lenses, compasses, etc. should you get the repellent on your
hands and then touch these things. I learned the hard way.... Gyde.**
*Pay It Forward/-- Cheers, Gyde/*
