Facilities

In 1943, Funds were lacking for construction of a field base at Hat Creek, Lassen Co., California. To get around the problem, staff of the Berkeley Forest Insect Lab built a structure with treated logs under the guise of an experiment. The asserted purpose was to see how long bark would be retained with treatment with various chemicals. Shown (l. to r.): R.C. Hall, "Shorty" Startt, G.R. Struble, J.W. Bongberg and P.C. Johnson. Later, M. Furniss & B. Wickman were in charge of this facility (MMF: 1952-1954, BEW: 1956-l967). Photo no. 11672-d, WFIWC archives. (Furniss & Wickman 1998, Fig 8).
