Forest biodiversity symposium: From microhabitats to landscapes

seminarier, workshops |

Are you interested in forest biodiversity? How to study it, measure it, and promote it through restoration, landscape planning, and protection? Then don’t miss this minisymposium!

Join us on the afternoon of 8 May 2025 for a series of inspiring presentations that span from microscopic organisms to entire landscapes, all united by one theme: forest biodiversity.

We welcome everyone with an interest in this topic—forest companies, county administrative boards, consultancy firms, researchers, and students. The event will be held live at Björken (SLU, Skogis in Umeå) and online via Zoom.

Seats are limited, so be there in time to secure a seat. Those joining online need to register to get a Zoom link.
