Call for papers--CAC Annual Conference

Call for papers
33rd Annual CAC-ACCR Conference
St.John's, Newfoundland and Labrador
18-20 May, 2007

The Conservation Community in St. John's, Newfoundland is excited to
be hosting the 2007 CAC-ACCR Annual Conference, and encourage you to
start thinking about participating.  Newfoundland is an incredibly
popular destination in the spring and summer, and those hoping to
attend should plan on booking early, as rental cars and bed and
breakfast accommodation on particular are snapped up quickly - often
by March.  We suggest you go to
<URL:http://www.newfoundlandandlabrador.com> to get a taste, and
start dreaming of the place you know you always wanted to visit,
