Contact 206-543-4227. July 31 * "Cedar of Lebanon Forests of Turkey." 10:00 - 11:30 am, 207 Anderson Hall. Speaker: Melih Boydak, visiting professor from the University of Istanbul, Turkey. Cedar of Lebanon is a historic and Biblical tree once found in much of the northeastern Mediterranean Sea area. Except for a few remnants, it is now found primarily in the Taurus Mountains of southern Asia Minor, Turkey. In these mountains there are several hundred thousand acres of these forests, from young stands to thousand-year-old stands with trees greater than 6 feet in diameter. Turkey is protecting these forests, replanting them, and providing values to the local people who have lived among them for thousands of years. Professor Boydak has been recognized internationally for his work on restoring these forests using silvicultural methods. He will show slides of the forests, the surrounding areas, and the practices used to manage them so they are sustained for future generations. Sponsor: College of Forest Resources. Info: duffield@u.washington.edu August 2 * "Forestry in Turkey." 10:00 - 11:30 am, 207 Anderson Hall. Speaker: Melih Boydak, visiting professor from the University of Istanbul, Turkey. Despite Hittite, Amazon, Phoenecian, Greek, Roman, Crusader, Byzantine, and Turkish civilizations having inhabited Turkey for thousands of years, Turkey has a diversity of forests that cover one fourth of the country. The different forests resemble the forests of the United States. The varied landscapes and climates-and lack of a recent Ice Age-has left an abundance of species greater than in most of Europe. Professor Boydak has been recognized internationally for his work in locating and protecting native plant diversity and in enhancing these forests for a variety of commodity and non-commodity values using silvicultural methods. He will show slides of the forests and the practices used to manage them so they are useful to present generations and sustained for future generations. Sponsor: College of Forest Resources.
