The Western Forest and Conservation Nursery Association meeting was held at the Red Lion Inn in Medford, Oregon, July 26 to 29. The meeting was hosted by the USDA Forest Service, J Herbert Stone Nursery. Morning technical sessions were followed by field trips to the J Herbert Stone Nursery and to restoration outplantings on the Timbered Rock Fire of 2002 in southern Oregon. Subject matter for both sessions included nursery history, conifer and hardwood nursery culturing, greenhouse management, fertilization, pest management, restoration, and native species propagation.
