The Official Newsletter for IASNR Members
Keeping in Touch
Volume 21, Issue 2
Notes from the Executive Officers
With the close of 2021, we are slowly returning to old ways, as well as forging new possibilities to connect ourselves to research processes, learning strategies, and engaging the communities in which we work. We hope this newsletter finds you healthy and creative in the larger goals of understanding relationships between people, environment, and natural resources.
The Life & Legacy of Jim Finley (December 6, 1948 – October 2, 2021)
We are deeply saddened to share the sudden and tragic loss of long-time IASNR member Dr. Jim Finley, on October 2, 2021. Jim was Ibberson Chair and Professor Emeritus of Private Forest Management and Human Dimensions of Natural Resources at Penn State University. His decades of work informed our understanding of forests, private forest landowners, and all people who care for the woods.
IASNR has Moved to a New listserv Platform!
The IASNR listserv is now operated through Google Groups. We hope this new platform provides a better user experience. The IASNR listserv is a mechanism to foster immediate and timely communication among IASNR members. Topics may include research, academic, or job opportunities; questions about teaching or scholarship; or timely news that may be of interest to members. Please contact [email protected] to join the listserv, update your subscription settings, or with any questions.

Your IASNR Executive Officers and Council represent you with regard to the association. Can you help us out by nominating an individual (including yourself!) who you think would represent you well?
