1979 Research Accomplishments

Excerpt from 1979 Research Accomplishments: Forests for Our Needs The Forest Service, through basic and applied studies, has been working to develop new technology needed for public land management, State and other agencies, various private organizations, the small woodland owner, and individual private citizens including the urban dweller - all forest users. We conduct research at eight regional forest experiment stations located around the country and at the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. We also conduct international studies in forestry, as well as cooperative research with universities and other organizations. This report contains over 40 short research highlights that provide scientific and technical knowledge needed to protect our Nation's natural resources, help us gain maximum benefit from their use, and leave the environment unspoiled. Starting on page 44 is a list of publications issued during fiscal year 1979 by our Forest Service research staff.
