Northwest Forest Soils Council Summer 2000 Newsletter Greetings Everyone! I hear that the winter meeting went very well with a great program on soil monitoring and good discussions at the posters. My thanks and thanks from all the attendees to Tom Terry and Dick Miller for hosting, organizing and chairing the winter meeting! A list of attendees is included in case you would like to contact anyone from the meeting. Our secretary, Rob Harrison, has typed up the minutes including the individual investigator reports and sent those out by email to everyone currently on the email list. For those who haven’t seen the minutes, we’ll have copies at the business meeting. We hope in the future to eliminate postal mailings, and go entirely with email. We would like to know how many members do not have email. If you could give either myself (206-685-9550) or Rob Harrison (206-685-7463) a phone call to let us know that you are not on email, we would appreciate it. By next year, we hope to send newsletters by regular mail only to those not on email. This would be a substantial saving for the membership, but would entail annually revising the email list to reflect current membership-- this may be a task the treasurer (Richard Zabel) could manage. It is now time to make plans to attend the NWFSC summer field trip which will focus on Mt. St. Helens. It has been 20 years since Mt. St. Helen’s erupted, and over 15 years since this grouped toured soils at St. Helens. This will be a great chance to see how soils and vegetation have changed in that time. The field trip will be held in conjunction with the Wash. Soc. Prof. Soil Scientists. The field trip is scheduled to begin the evening of Aug. 2nd and continue through Aug. 5th. Tom Terry and Phil McColley have organized a great trip. Information on the field trip and pre-registration information is enclosed. You can also register in person. If you do choose to register in person, email Tom Terry or Tina Allen (addre
