International Pulpwood Conference in Brazil

THE NEXT International Pulpwood Conference (“Global Wood Fibre Trade – Woodchips and Biomass”) will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, during mid-March 2010.
In addition, a major one-day conference on forest and plantation investment (“International Timberlands Ownership”) will be held in conjunction with the two-day “Global Wood Fibre Trade Conference”. (March 15-16). Delegates may attend the one-day, the two-day, or both conferences.
Following the conferences, a two-day field trip will visit wattle and eucalyptus nurseries, plantations and harvesting operations, and wattle woodchip export and loading facilities in southern Brazil.
In addition, the organisers may offer an alternative field trip focusing on the burgeoning bio-energy plantation industry in Brazil.
The conference website www.pulpwoodconference.com will be updated soon with the new conference programs and registration details.
