Camcore 2023 Annual Meeting

The 2023 Camcore Annual Meeting will be held in North Carolina from Sunday, October 1 to Thursday, October 12. During our nearly two week visit we will spend time in Raleigh in and around NCSU, down near the Atlantic coast, and finally ending in the mountains. We are excited to host everyone in our NC home and to share the interesting meeting we are panning.

Past Annual Meetings

Camcore 2022 Annual Meeting, October 31-November 13, 2022. South Africa

We were excited to join our members in person once again in beautiful South Africa over two weeks. The main meeting ran from Tuesday Nov 1 to Friday Nov 11. The meeting included four ½ day indoor technical sessions. During our visit we saw forestry in sub-tropical Zululand, warm temperate and cool temperate sites in the Midlands region of Kwazulu-Natal, as well as around Sabie in Mpumulanga. We visited a number of forest genetic and species trials, the Sappi Ngodwana Nursery, the Mondi Fire Control Center, the York sawmill and plywood plant, and saw tropical and cool-temperate species and hybrids of both eucalypts and pines.

Camcore 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting, November 30 -December 2 and December 7-9, 2021

Unfortunately, the Camcore Annual Meeting was once again held online via zoom. While we continue to miss travelling and meeting with our colleagues in person the 2021 Annual Meeting was an excellent opportunity to share some of the exciting research being done by Camcore and our members. Over a two-week period we held six sessions over a two-week period on the Zoom platform.

Camcore 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting, December 1-December 10, 2020

As with everything else in this strange year, the 2020 Annual Meeting will not be what we have enjoyed in past years. Since we cannot all be present in one place this year, we will conduct our 2020 Annual Meeting online where we can review the status of our research and breeding projects, have some member presentations, and plan for 2021 and beyond. Specifically, we held six Annual Meeting sessions over a two-week period, using Zoom.
