Opening Remarks Presented to the Western Forest and Conservation Nursery Association Conference
Aloha Kakabiaka, Buenos Dias, Guten Morgen or however you may say good morning. It's so wonderful to see so many of you, especially those that have traveled from foreign countries to be here to learn and share your experiences in the nursery area. On behalf of Mike Buck, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) Administrator, welcome to the Western Forest and Conservation Nursery Association meeting here in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. My name is Carl Masaki, and I'm the forestry program manager for the Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Department of Land and Natural Resources, State of Hawaii. We thank you for coming to Hawaii to share your knowledge on nursery operations with us. Please enjoy the local culture. Today starts the formal part of the meeting, and I'm really impressed with the agenda the program committee has prepared for us. We have local, national, and international presenters. An additional conference benefit that I find extremely important is. the networking with other participants. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet others and share information during the meeting as well as for future reference. Exchange business cards, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
