Silviculture Matters - 2013 SAF Convention
in Charleston, South Carolina
|
|
Call for Presentations
In
1903 at the first National Convention of the Society of American
Foresters in Washington, DC, President Theodore Roosevelt challenged our
young profession to implement a vast program of practical forestry on a
large scale, to ensure sustainable forests and the values they provide
for a growing nation.
Over
the ensuing century, the actions of a committed profession have enabled
exactly that to occur by applying the art and science of silviculture -
through enviable scientific advances in high-yield plantation
silviculture, as well as the growing sophistication and complexity of
silvicultural systems for natural forest ecosystems.
These
advances have not been without controversy, as the profession and the
public have debated both the objectives and the tactics of modern
forestry. As we highlight silviculture as the central focus of
contemporary forest management for diverse stewardship values, we
recognize that its practice depends on all forest sciences, ranging from
basic biology to human dimensions.
We invite you to offer a paper or poster at the 2013 Convention
to inform the conversation and to ensure that our profession and its
practitioners continue to live up to Roosevelt's challenge to the
profession. Individual presentations, panels, and posters will be
accepted in the following natural resources topic areas:
- Recreation

- Forest Ecology
