INTERMOUNTAIN RESEARCH STATION <br />The Intermountain Research Station provides scientific knowl- <br />edge and technology to improve management, protection, and use <br />of the forests and rangelands of the Intermountain West. Research <br />is designed to meet the needs of National Forest managers, <br />Federal and State agencies, industry, academic institutions, public <br />and private organizations, and individuals. Results of research are <br />made available through publications, symposia, workshops, training <br />sessions, and personal contacts. <br />The Intermountain Research Station territory includes Montana, <br />Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and western Wyoming. Eighty-five percent of <br />the lands in the Station area, about 231 million acres, are classified <br />as forest or rangeland. They include grasslands, deserts, shrub- <br />lands, alpine areas, and forests. They provide fiber for forest in- <br />dustries, minerals and fossil fuels for energy and industrial develop- <br />ment, water for domestic and industrial consumption, forage for <br />livestock and wildlife, and recreation opportunities for millions of <br />visitors. <br />Several Station units conduct research in additional western <br />States, or have missions that are national or international in scope. <br />Station laboratories are located in: <br />Boise, Idaho <br />Bozeman, Montana (in cooperation with Montana State <br />University) <br />Logan, Utah (in cooperation with Utah State University) <br />Missoula, Montana (in cooperation with the University of <br />Montana) <br />Moscow, Idaho (in cooperation with the University of Idaho) <br />Ogden, Utah <br />Provo, Utah (in cooperation with Brigham Young University) <br />Reno, Nevada (in cooperation with the University of Nevada) <br />ropEST 5ERVq <br />TNFNTOTNGRIN r°" <br />JAIL ?; '87 <br />
