Focus: Spring 2020

At the College of Forestry, we conduct research, outreach, and education programs that deliver healthier forests, resilient ecosystems, and innovative products for the benefits of people and communities. This work plays a significant role in Oregon State University’s recognition as an international leader in forestry research and education as we deliver programs and conduct research throughout Oregon and around the globe.

It wouldn’t be possible, however, if it weren’t for the outstanding work conducted at the OSU Corvallis campus and within the local community. This issue focuses on our world-class researchers and students and the individual labs and forests where they work every day.

This is a perfect opportunity to reconnect and learn more about our work, people, and spaces, and our efforts to improve the entirety of the working forest landscape.
