The Cooperative Forest Ecosystem Research (CFER) program
will work closely with resource managers, researchers, and
decision-makers to develop and convey information needed to
successfully implement ecosystem-based management at forest
stand and watershed scales, especially on lands dominated
by young forests and fragmented by multiple ownership.
Goals
•
To
provide forest managers with new information to evaluate
current and proposed strategies and practices associated
with management of forest ecosystems.
•
To facilitate development of sustainable forest practices
through team-oriented, integrated research.
Objectives
•
To
further the understanding of ecological relationships
in forest ecosystems with special emphasis on biodiversity
and its management in young forest stands and riparian
zones.
•
To
deliver information to cooperators, forest managers, and
the general public in a timely and responsive manner.
