European Forest Institute

Today our FOREXT network has been reflecting on the past year and planning new activities. And yes, we have used post-it notes! We have also discussed our collaboration with projects such as FORADVISE and how we can better share our knowledge and experiences. Tomorrow we will have thematic sessions in collaboration with SOILL, HoliSoils project, TRANSFORMIT Project, eco2adapt, FoRISK - Pan-European Forest Risk Facility and many more. Already now, a big thank you to our Lithuanian colleagues at Lietuvos žemės ūkio konsultavimo tarnyba for hosting us, and to European Forest Institute's Inazio Martinez de Arano and Andrea Arancibia Alfaro for preparing the meeting together Radek Rinn from Czech University of Life Sciences Prague.
