Excerpt from A Summary of Current Program 7/1/64 and Preliminary Report of Progress for 7/1/63 to 6/30/64
The National Forestry Research Advisory Committee annually reviews the forestry research of the Department of Agriculture. Progress during the past year and plans for the year ahead are discussed. The aim is to concentrate available resources on the more pressing problems and at the same time maintain proper balance toward achieving long range objectives. Coordination of research efforts receives atten tion.
Research undertaken directly by Department scientists is conducted at the national headquarters, Washington, D. C.; at the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin; at ten Regional Forest Experiment Stations which carry out projects at a number of locations throughout the United States; and at the Institute of Tropical Forestry in Puerto Rico. Most of the research is headquartered on or near the campuses of colleges and universities. There are 350 active projects requiring about man-years of professional effort.
Brief summaries included in the report describe ongoing Hatch Act research in forestry and related fields at the state agricultural experiment stations. Alto gether there are 218 active projects in 43 state agricultural experiment stations. Many of the individual projects contribute formally to the objectives of regional projects, with the project leaders meeting together annually. There are existing forestry regional projects in forest genetics and tree improvement, ecology and economics.
