When I first visited Asilomar for a meeting, the conference grounds had a beautiful Monterey Pine forest. Now devasatated by pitch canker. Shocking what an invasive alien pathogen can do! @Fabiteam1 #forestpathology #forestentomology
Uplifting to hear Joseph Buongiorno discuss climate change on the future of forests! Much to consider and to be concerned about! @IUFRO @Fabiteam1 #forests

Happy Mandela Day to all! FABI team members celebrate the occasion by spending 67 minutes (remembering the 67 years that Mandela spent jailed on Robben Island) of community service slashing invasive woody weeds-small impact made -but every bit counts @Fabiteam1 #MandelaDay2023
