The USDA Forest Service Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) offers technical expertise, technology transfer, and new equipment development to federal, state, and private forest nurseries. Current and recently completed projects at MTDC include a container block steam sterilizer, shielded herbicide sprayer, time-domain reflectometry (TDR) nursery soil moisture meter, modified brushes for the Woodward Flail-Vac Seed Stripper, greenhouse top mower, and several other projects in progress.
