10th Biennial Short Rotation Woody Crops Operations Working Group Conference in Seattle, Washington July 17-19, 2014

This conference welcomes presentations and posters on all species of trees (hardwood and softwoods) being commercially grown or investigated for their performance in short-rotation (<10 year) production systems. The conference focus is on communicating practical knowledge about all operations involved in the supply of any woody crop species to a variety of end-use markets.
