The Intermountain Station, headquartered in Ogden, Utah, 

 is one of eight regional experiment stations charged with pro- 

 viding 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 250 

 million acres, or 90 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 

 maintained 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 University
