Hello Cathy, I think it could be a good idea to install on this forum a sort of dictionary with forestry technical terms. Everybody could help in his own language and it might help for discussions between foreign members!!

I can help. If the moderating doesn't take up too much time, that is. Like everyone nowadays I too have lots of stuff I want to do ;-)

Hi Cathy,

Thanks for your welcome :-)

Susan mailed we could join here. Being the webmaster for the Dutch Forestry Society you'll understand that I just had to try out how this works!

Regards,

 

Etiënne

Hi Cathy,

Finally I found time to update my profile for this site. I think I did not even tell you how much I appreciate your work for this site and the prosilvaeurope site. It is so much better then it was before! Thanks a lot.

I will also send an email to all our active Pro Silva people that they can join the network and try to find somebody who wants to make a group page for the Netherlands.

Kind regards,

Susan

Dear Cathy,

Thank you uploading the logo of Hungarian PS. I have put myself on the map too. I am trying to include more Hungarians into the network but now it is a holiday time so after summer I think it will be easier.

Best wishes,

Peter

Dear Cathy,

I can't reach that box (pictogram of camera) what you suggest, at me when I select "options" then "edit" is different. Beside the "Image" I can' find possibilities to click.

Best regards, Peter

Hi Kathy,

I have had a great time looking round the ProSilva network. I think that this has some real potential and will get going as people become more used to the idea. It needs people like you and Ted to get the word out. I set up a CCFG group an then read your email! It all made so much sense that there was no need to suggest it!

Regards,

Phil
