Description: A symposium was held on the globally threatened and coastally restricted tree species, Atlantic white-cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides (L) B.S.P.) at the Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center, Millersville, MD, in June 2003. The theme of the symposium was “Uniting Forces for Action,” and participants in the symposium came from throughout the range of this species, from New England to the Gulf Coast. More than 15 papers and posters were presented addressing topics on community and ecosystem ecology of natural Atlantic white cedar (AWC) habitats, ecosystem restoration and stewardship efforts, the current range of the species, information on range-wide AWC genetics, and the long-term effects of various silvicultural manipulations on the entire vegetation community in AWC habitat.

Keywords: Atlantic white-cedar, Chamecyparis thyoides, coastally restricted, ecosystem restoration, genetic variation
