Developing technology -- a forest health partnership

Abstract

Since the early 1960's Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) and Forest Pest Management (FPM) have worked in partnership developing technology to support forest health and silviculture. Traditionally this partnership has included cooperators from other agencies, States, foreign governments, academia, industry, and individual landowners. The FPM sponsored projects have focused on engineering development of delivery systems and methods to mitigate environmental impact, protect personnel, and reduce costs while meeting resource manager forest health objectives. This paper summarizes program accomplishments, takes a look how the accomplishments were realized, and references the current 5-Year Forest Pest Management/Missoula Technology and Development Genter Plan-Supporting Forest Health.
