The ARRI
Core Team and
Science Team conducted their summer meeting and annual field
tour on June 6 – 9, 2006 in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. The tour began in State College
Pennsylvania where the Academic Team and State Core Team
representatives gave short talks about their interests.
Following the presentations, the teams toured sites of American
chestnut and Oak
plantings and a natural succession site amended with biosolids.
On Wednesday, the teams toured an abandoned mine land site in
Bedford County, PA that is to be replanted with approximately
50,000 trees. In the afternoon, the teams traveled to
Maryland where they viewed reclamation of a bond forfeiture
site and an abandoned mine land site completed in 1991 and
reforested in pine trees. Thursday, the teams traveled to
West Virginia where they viewed a native Red Spruce site.
