The Advisory Committee will guide development on five workshop packages about case studies in genomics and forestry.

– Provide feedback on workshop packages (including trailer videos, facilitators’ guides, and experiential aids)
– Identify areas for growth in workshop package content and development

Topics

Each workshop package will focus on a case study of genomics in forestry, with priority to topics and issues of interest in Indigenous communities.

The tentative topics for workshop packages in Round 1 include:

– Assisted migration and the whitebark pine
– Seedbank development for Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine
– Genomics and the yellow cedar

Logistics

Phone calls, emails, and the occasional video conference.

The “Genomics in Society” team will be in touch with members of the Advisory Committee through email to arrange phone or video conversations. Meetings of the Advisory Committee will take place remotely.
