The Intermountain Station, headquartered in Ogden, Utah, is one 

 of eight regional experiment stations charged with providing scien- 

 tific knowledge to help resource managers meet human needs and 

 protect forest and range ecosystems. 



The Intermountai-n Station includes the States of Montana, 

 Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and western Wyoming. About 231 million 

 acres, or 85 percent, of the land area in the Station territory are 

 classified as forest and rangeland. These lands include grass- 

 lands, deserts, shrublands, alpine areas, and well-stocked forests. 

 They supply fiber for forest industries; minerals for energy and in- 

 dustrial development; and water for domestic and industrial con- 

 sumption. They also provide recreation opportunities for millions 

 of visitors each year. 



Field programs and research work units of the Station are main- 

 tained 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) 



Provo, Utah (in cooperation with Brigham Young Univer- 

 sity) 



Reno, Nevada (in cooperation with the University of 

 Nevada)
