This page contains citations from workshops and seminars held by the Michigan SAF. This listing is a service to SAF members, the natural resource management community, and the public in general. Consider this a kind of "bulletin board" for curious readers. SAF can not claim to have collected an exhaustive list on any particular topic. Suggestions for additional citations can be made to Bill Cook at cookwi@msu.edu or 906-786-1575. This resource will be built up, over time, by people who find interesting material related to natural resource management. For those looking for information on a particular topic that does not appear on this page (and there are many), try posting a message on the discussion group (on the home page). Whenever the Michigan SAF produces a technical binder from a workshop or seminar, the citations will be listed here. So far, only the first such binder appears, from the red pine workshop in September, 1997.
