Dead Wood Listserver: The TWS Western Section sponsored a symposium entitled "The Ecology and Management of Dead Wood in Western Forests" in November 1999. The target audience was all resource professionals working in timbered environments. An outcome of that event was the need to promote 1) a greater understanding of the topic, 2) meaningful research, monitoring, and reporting, 3) discussions regarding management objectives, and 4) a new synthesis on dead wood management. An important tool in achieving these ends is the creation of a list-serve to support these discussions, an effort which was supported by many of the attendees. The Western Section is pleased to announce that the listserver has been
established. To join, send an e-mail to dead_wood-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dead_wood/.
