The Intermountain Research Station provides scientific knowledge and technology to improve 

 management, protection, and use of the forests and rangelands of the Intermountain West. 

 Research is designed to meet the needs of National Forest managers, Federal and State agencies, 

 industry, academic institutions, public and private organizations, and individuals. Results of research 

 are made available through publications, symposia, workshops, training sessions, and personal 

 contacts. 



The Intermountain Research Station territory includes Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and 

 western Wyoming. Eighty-five percent of the lands in the Station area, about 231 million acres, are 

 classified as forest or rangeland. They include grasslands, deserts, shrublands, alpine areas, and 

 forests. They provide fiber for forest industries, minerals and fossil fuels for energy and industrial 

 development, water for domestic and industrial consumption, forage for livestock and wildlife, and 

 recreation opportunities for millions of visitors. 



Several Station units conduct research in additional western States, or have missions that are 

 national or international in scope. 



Station laboratories are located in: 



Boise, Idaho 



Bozeman, Montana (in cooperation with Montana State University) 

 Logan, Utah (in cooperation with Utah State University) 

 Missoula, Montana (in cooperation with the University of Montana) 

 Moscow, Idaho (in cooperation with the University of Idaho) 

 Ogden, Utah
