Whitebark pine is a keystone species in high elevation forests of the Pacific Coast. It not only provides critical wildlife habitat and watershed protection, but evokes the beauty and majesty of the special places where it resides.

This conference explored the ecology, population structure and genetics, wildlife interactions, disturbance regimes, threats, and challenges of managing whitebark pine and other high elevation five-needle pines in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. The program included invited speakers, panel discussions, contributed papers and posters, field trips, and a photo contest.
