Sylamore Experimental Forest
The Sylamore Experimental Forest, established in 1934, was the first and is the largest experimental forest in Arkansas. Located in Stone County, Arkansas, near the community of Mountain View, the Sylamore Experimental Forest was the site of many important early research projects on the management of upland hardwood forests. The Sylamore is remote, consisting of 4,290 ac and is surrounded by national forest. The Sylamore EF is dominated by oak-hickory forest. Currently, research activities are coordinated by the Southern Research Station; administratively, the forest is identified as Compartment 102 on the Sylamore Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, which coordinates management activities there in support of research. Recent research includes forest dynamics and fire history.
