ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



This publication is a result of the research program of the Institute 

 of Natural and Environmental Resources. The Institute is a multi-disciplinary 

 group of scientists involved in a coordinated program of research, teaching 

 and extension. The research effort encompasses investigations of: problems 

 affecting the quality of the environment, economics of agriculture, forest 

 and wildlife resources, the efficient use and conservation of water and soil, 

 and the regional and community planning and development . 



Development of the forest inventory program INVENT was supported by the 

 Pinchot Consortium for Environmental Studies, the Mclntyre-Stennis 19 project 

 entitled "Social and Economic Opportunities of Town Forests in New Hampshire", 

 and the Hatch 149 project entitled "Effects of Site and Stocking on the Growth 

 of Eastern White Pine".

 people whose help was instrumental in making INVENT a viable system: Jean Brien,

 Phyllis Groves for laying out and typing the final manuscript.
