Description: Texas Forest Service is holding a symposium for East Texas
landowners still reeling from the effects of the relentless, ongoing drought.

The Drought Symposium will focus on general impacts from the 2011 drought, as well
as forest health issues, tree mortality assessments, silviculture recommendations,
market and climate trends and federal assistance programs. Attendees also will get a
preview of the predictions for the 2012 fire season.

The Symposium is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
the Lottie and Arthur Temple Civic Center, 601 Dennis St., Diboll, Texas.

“This is geared toward landowners who are dealing with the issue of tree mortality,”
Harrington said, explaining that the seminar would include sessions on tree
salvaging and precautions for landowners interested in replanting. “If you need
advice on how to best manage your property throughout the drought, this symposium is
for you.”
