ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Delegate
The 20th Annual Meeting of the Forest Nursery Association of British Columbia (FNABC) will be held in Prince George, BC at the Civic Centre on September 18, 19, 20, & 21, 2000. Registration is on the evening of Monday, September 18th with technical sessions on the mornings of Tuesday Sept. 19th , Wednesday Sept. 20th , & Thursday Sept. 21st . Tours will be arranged for the afternoons of these days. It is our intention to post the registration and agenda package on the FNABC Web site, as well as the mail out; www.for.gov.bc.ca/nursery/FNABC/FNABC.htm by early July.
Important: The FNABC mailing list has reached 750 (getting expensive). It is our intention to mail out the program/registration package to only those who respond to this letter. If you wish to remain on our mailing list please respond with a call, note or ‘e’ mail to myself or Julie Hart. We appreciate your attention to this matter.
Program
This year’s program theme is "2000 and Beyond: Partnerships for Success". The three technical sessions will focus on; Nursery issues, Forest health, and Management systems that both the customer and the supplier must deal with together to ensure success in our Silviculture programs. The field trips each day will illustrate successes we are achieving together. The major field tour will be on Tuesday, September 19, 2000 (appropriate dress is advised) which will extensively cover the Bowron Valley, "the largest plantation in the world". I’m sure most of our nurseries have provided seedlings for this area. The tour will culminate with a B.B.Q.
Speakers & Posters
The organizing committee will be contacting potential speakers that are in line with this years theme and the three days of technical sessions proposed. We also take this opportunity to invite anyone interested in presenting a paper or displaying a poster to contact the undersigned.
Accommodations and facilities
All technical sessions will be held in the Civic Centre. A block of 75 rooms have been reserved at the "Days Inn" for FNABC delegates –1-800-292-8333. Further information will be forth coming with the July package. A map of the downtown area of Prince George is also enclosed identifying options for hotels and motels, most within walking distance of the Civic Centre.
