Second Science Symposium
Sponsored by:
- USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station
- University of California Integrated Hardwood Range Management
Program and Center for Forestry
Purpose and Objective:
In keeping with recent events in North America and
Europe, this second research symposium is designed to bring together
the broad array of the scientific community from throughout the
world working on Phytophthora ramorum and the phenomena popularly
known as “Sudden Oak Death.” The goal is to provide a scientific
overview on the state of our knowledge about Sudden Oak Death in
forest, woodland, urban forestry, nurseries and agricultural settings.
The symposium will provide not only completed research studies,
but updates on current projects underway. It is anticipated that
this broad overview will foster closer cooperation between the various
disciplines and geographic areas working on this disease, and inform
managers and policy makers about the focus of current research efforts.

held at the Marriott Hotel in Monterey from
January 18 to

researchers, natural
