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 in- 

 dustries; minerals for energy and industrial development; and 

 water for domestic and industrial consumption. They also 

 provide recreation opportunities for milUons 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)
