*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? Terrestrial LiDAR and Urban Trees. 
*Luiz Octavio de Lima Pedreira is seeking data about the use of 
land-based LIDAR scanning to determine the volume of standing trees, 
with emphasis in street trees. If you can help, please contact Luiz at 
lopedreira at yahoo.com.br <mailto:lopedreira at yahoo.com.br>.

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. 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 100 Fellows from 30 countries have 
participated to date. Details at
