IOS Webinar #8: Conservation Actions for Five Endemic Mexican Oak Species and the Oaks at Bokrijk Arboretum

The IOS is pleased to announce our next virtual event, again co-hosted with the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak (GCCO), which will take place over Zoom at 10 am US Central Time on June 25, 2025. 

In this webinar, we will first hear from Maribel Arenas Navarro, who will present a project focusing on conservation actions for five endemic Mexican oaks: Quercus centenaria, Q. cualensis, Q. tuitensis, Q. mexiae, and Q. nixoniana. The fieldwork for this project, carried out in 2023 and 2024, was funded by an IOS Oak Conservation and Research Grant.

During the second part of the webinar, Sven Bronckaers, Heritage Gardener and Collections Specialist at Bokrijk Arboretum in Belgium, will present an overview of the outstanding oak collection at Bokrijk. Following the presentations there will be Q&A.

IOS members can register for the event here.

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and an invite you can add to your calendar. 

The event is limited to IOS members only (non-members can easily join the IOS to participate).

We look forward to seeing you there!
