Louisiana Natural Resources Symposium
The LSU AgCenter will be hosting the Louisiana Natural Resources Symposium on July 19-20 at the Lod Cook Conference Center and Hotel on the campus of Louisiana State University. For many years Louisiana State University hosted the premiere forestry education event in the U.S. South, then known as the LSU Forestry Symposium. A recent resurgence of interest in renewing the symposium has led to its revival. The new symposium has a new title that is more contemporary and reflective of the integration of all the natural resource disciplines. Accordingly, the topics and sessions of the symposium have been selected to include the broad array of natural resource policy, management, and utilization issues that are critically important in the southeastern U.S. The symposium will feature papers from leading international experts covering cutting edge issues such as BMP effectiveness and water related issues, forest certification, estimation of forest carbon for large inventories, biomass utilization opportunities, new conservation programs, forest aesthetics, and much more. The target audience includes land managers, foresters, land owners, academicians, and those interested in the management and conservation of our great natural resources. A comprehensive and professional proceedings will be available to all registrants. The Symposium is being co-sponsored by the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station; LSU School of Renewable Natural Resources; Boise Cascade, LLC; Louisiana Society of American Foresters; National Wetlands Research Center; Louisiana Forestry Association, The Nature Conservancy; Natchitoches Parish Forest Landowners Association; Southern Regional Extension Forester; and Mockler Beverage Budweiser. This program qualifies for 11 hours of Continuing Logger Education from the Louisiana Logging Council and for 7 hours of category 1 and 2.5 hours of category 2 continuing forestry education from the Society of American Foresters.
