The IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party organizes biannual International Conferences since 1993. This is a fundamental part of the activity of the group given the contribution of these events to the mission and objectives of the WP. The WP and their Regional Representatives also promote and support other conferences. In addition, the WP participate actively in initiatives of other scientific organizations. IUFRO Landscape Ecology and IALE have a long-time relationship promoting landscape ecology across the globe. The IALE-North America 2020 Annual Meeting will be held May 10-14 at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Working Party publishes books and special issues as outcomes of conferences and other initiatives. A series of books on forest landscape ecology and related topics has been regularly published since 2004. Francisco Castro Rego, a keynote speaker at the IUFRO Landscape Ecology International conference in Bragança in 2010, with colleagues from the US and Portugal Stephen C. Bunting, Eva Kristina Strand and Paulo Godinho-Ferreira have just published Applied Landscape Ecology. More information about the book HERE.
