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

 of eight regional experiment stations charged with providing scientific 

 knowledge to help resource managers meet human needs and protect 

 forest and range ecosystems. 



The Intermountain 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 grasslands, deserts, 

 shrublands, alpine areas, and well-stocked forests. They supply fiber 

 for forest industries; minerals for energy and industrial development; 

 and water for domestic and industrial consumption. 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 Univer- 

 sity) 



Logan, Utah (in cooperation with Utah State University) 



Missoula, Montana (in cooperation with the University of
