FORESTS´ FUTURE 2022
Consequences of Bark beetle calamity in Central Europe
Jihlava, June 20th – 23th 2022
Last year on-line FORESTS´ FUTURE conference has summarized the bark beetle infestation in European countries and discussed its foreseen impact on forestry sector, environment and community. Thanks to relatively cold and moist vegetation season in Central Europe the calamity slowed down in 2021 and sometimes is presented as being under control or even overcame. What development can we expect? Do we observe ecological threats on large clear-cut areas? What are the best procedures for reforestation to provide future forests stability in changing environmental and climatic conditions? And what is the perception of current situation by forest owners and general public? These are topics we want to share and discuss during the next FORESTS´ FUTURE meeting.
The workshop is organized under the auspices of the Czech Minister of Agriculture Ing. Zdeněk Nekula.
