- The first meetings of the FLOBAR2 Stakeholder Group in the UK took
place in Cambridge on January 11th and February 2nd, 2001. Francine
Hughes and Keith Richards presented the aims and work of FLOBAR2 and
had excellent and fruitful discussions with the stakeholders on the
focus and form for the proposed 'best-practice manual for restoring
floodplain woodland'. This manual will be a significant output of the
FLOBAR2 project.

- The second meeting of FLOBAR2 took place in Clermont-Ferrand, France
on February 23rd and 24th, 2001. The meeting was timed to allow all
partners to discuss their first year's work prior to writing the first
annual report. Individual workpackage meetings took place, small groups
working together with much enthusiasm and interest. Representatives
of each workpackage then presented a resume of the previous year's work
and projected work at a plenary session. The partner from IRS, Berlin
took the opportunity to carry out some interactive work with partners
grouped by country in order to discuss the institutional structures
involved in each country's water resource management. A field trip to
magnificent alluvial woodland areas on the Allier River, led by Jean-Luc
Peiry rounded off an enjoyable and productive meeting.
Minutes
