Join us for our Advanced Variable Probability Sampling Workshop
to be held November 12-14, on the Oregon State University Campus.

This course is designed for those who use and collect stand inventory information. It is particularly well suited for those who have attended the Oregon State University Variable Plot and 3P Sampling Workshop. This is a more in-depth coverage of sampling methods and analysis. We will also cover Critical Increment Sampling a better method for growth determination as well as improved procedures for coping with edge effect. Contact Sierra Whitlow at 541-737-6439 for registration information, John Bell at 541-758-4939 about course content, or visit the OSU web site at: http://oregonstate.edu/conferences/variableprobability2008/advanced.html.
