This Issue:*/Reliability of Forest Inventories and Remote Sensing (Part 
3 of 3)/***and Some Other Good Things

*RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORIES AND REMOTE SENSING. (Part 3 of 3) -- 
*Recently I was doing some searching for publications on the reliability 
of forest inventories and remote sensing. Here are some of the sites 
that I found. If you know of others, please send me the information and 
I will post in the next NRMI. Thanks, Gyde (gyde at comcast.net).

*Forest Information Billboard *-- "Info about Info" We cordially invite 
you to share information about events, projects and publications with 
the help of «Forest Information Billboard».The Team of Specialists on 
Sustainable Forest Management has recommended developing a regular, 
joint bulletin that shares existing forest-related reporting initiatives 
among organizations and countries to ensure a more frequent exchange of 
information and developments on forest related reporting processes. The 
billboard is open for all, and the content depends on the information 
provided by you and other organizations/countries. UNECE/FAO Forestry 
and Timber Section hosts the billboard and welcomes you to take part! 
Kindly provide your contribution to the first issue by 15 March 2013 to 
Elina Warsta (elina.warsta at unece.org). For more information see 
http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/1136787/959294442/name/Forest_info_billboard_concept_note2013%2Edocx 
. Once finalized, we will include a link to the billboard at our website
