 The
Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center provides scientific
understanding and the technology needed to support sound management
and conservation of our nation's natural resources, with emphasis
on western ecosystems.
2005 Science Strategic Plan
The USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center
(FRESC) maintains and enhances its leadership role in developing
innovative approaches to highly integrated research through close
working relationships with universities, other research institutions,
and other federal and state agencies throughout the western United
States. In some cases these relationships involve co-location of
staff, courtesy faculty appointments for FRESC scientists, service by
FRESC scientists on graduate student committees, and shared research
facilities.
This strategy of fostering alliances and agreements among cooperators
is strengthened by the production of high-quality science products
and timely dissemination of results. Significant investments are
made not only in production of scientific publications, but also
in information and technology transfer to managers, policy-makers,
educators, and the general public. FRESC has particularly long-term
relationships with:
Boise State University
Idaho Department
of Fish and Game
Idaho State University
