Background on the Oak Symposium Series
Beginning in 1979, there have been a series of symposia held every 5 to 7 years addressing the state of our knowledge about science, policy and management factors affecting California’s oak resource. The most recent symposium was held on November 3-6, 2014 in Visalia, California. Shown below is a link to download the Proceedings of each of the 7 oak symposiums.
