"This conference will be focusing on the relationship between urban forests and community health. Registration is not yet open. This is a save the date announcement. We are finalizing the list of speakers. As information becomes available, it will be posted on our website www.oufc.org.

We have confirmed our keynote speaker: Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a botanist and medical biochemist who is an expert on the medicinal, environmental, and nutritional properties of trees. She is the author of several books including Arboretum America: A Philosophy of the Forest (2003), its sister book Arboretum Borealis, and The Global Forest (2010).
Aside:
Hey OUFC speakers coordinators:
good call! Folks have been enthusiastically recommending Diana Beresford-Kroeger's books to me since spring, and I've been going through a "I am so hard-up for intro plant biochemistry (and so are you, because a lot of it is emerging knowledge)" phase, so thank you! :)
