# 1994 Native Forest Network Conference Advertisement

### Spring 1994

The Native Forest Network (NFN) is pleased to announce that the Second International Temperate Forest Conference will be held in Missoula from November 9-13, 1994. Following the conference, there will be a three day strategy session. The conference will be held on the campus of the University of Montana, and this year's theme will be “Attacking the Multinationals.”

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are invited to the conference and strategy session. The NFN anticipates 500 people attending so please let us know if a representative from your group can attend. Government agencies and industry representatives are encouraged to participate as well.

As the last great band of temperate forest in the lower 48 states lies in the Northern Rockies, Missoula sits in the middle of this bioregion and provides an ideal backdrop for this gathering. Given the ongoing political crisis revolving around native forests and roadless lands in Montana and Idaho, NFN hopes the confrerence will foster more national and international support for landscape-level planning, ecosystem recovery and forest protection.

Get in touch with us if you wish to receive more information on the conference and strategy session. We are preparing the schedule and agenda, and would appreciate hearing any ideas for papers, campaign updates, panel discussions or special events. Registration materials will be available this spring, as well as a publicity poster.

Many tabloid stories were written about the possibility that Ted Kaczynski attended this conference based on the testimony of someone who went along to spy on radical environmentalists.
This person claimed to have written down all the names of people he overheard introducing themselves, then found a name similar to Kaczynski's after his arrest.
Either way, this advertisement shows that the conference wasn't some exclusively radical environmentalist meetup where everyone sat around a darkly lit table twiddling their moustaches hatching terrifying schemes.
