  1. RESTORING AND MANAGING LONGLEAF PINE ECOSYSTEMS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE VISIT (TAV) SYNTHESIS MEETING Atlanta, GA9-11-12

  2. RESTORING AND MANAGING LONGLEAF PINE ECOSYSTEMS Mission Statement To provide knowledge and strategies for restoring, managing, and sustaining longleaf pine ecosystems

  3. CURRENT PROBLEM AREAS Providing fundamental physiological knowledge needed to understand the processes that affect longleaf pine seedling production, establishment, growth, and development. Providing ecological information about population and community processes that affect restoration of longleaf pine woodlands and at risk native species.

  5. UNIT LOCATIONS

  6. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE VISITS • Formal reviews of the scientific work undertaken by each Research Work Unit (RWU) to ensure that these efforts continue to address the issues of greatest importance to various natural resources constituencies and the general public.

  7. TRADITIONAL TAV PROCEDURE Issue invitations to selected individuals Meet at one central location Formal presentations by scientists General discussion Breakout groups Thank everyone and send them home Unit summarizes the information Revise unit’s charter

  8. REVISED TAV PROCEDURE • Any interested parties may attend • Hold listening sessions in multiple locations • Brochures instead of formal presentations by all scientists • Ask five critical questions about the Unit’s work • Thank everyone and WE go home • Unit summarizes the information • Hold TAV Synthesis Meeting for feedback • Revise unit’s charter

  9. THE QUESTIONS • Which lines of research are most applicable to your needs and why? • Are there lines of research that need to be finalized or redirected? • Are there questions you feel we need to address (new lines of research)? • Are there research skills we lack that should be acquired in-house? • How can our work become more accessible to you? In which format (journal articles, technical bulletins, tours, website) is it most useful?

  10. 6. What do you need from us to get your job done?
