Starkey Experimental Forest and Range: A Century of Research Progress and Applications in Natural Resource Management

SciCast Webinar presented by Forest Service Research and Development

Applied research in natural resources provides essential knowledge for effectively managing public, private, and Tribal lands throughout the U.S. At the 25,000-acre Starkey Experimental Forest and Range (Starkey) in northeast Oregon, applied research has been conducted for nearly 100 years—with results that continue to grow in breadth and depth of applications and benefits to land management and ecosystem services.

In this webinar, we highlight the century of research at Starkey and the key management benefits to national forests, natural resource managers, associated stakeholders, and societal needs for ecosystem services. We describe a knowledge co-production framework in which long-term research has been conducted on a broad range of scientific disciplines and resource topics with a broad range of collaborators and stakeholders.
