College of Forest Resources Fact Sheets

The UW College of Forest Resources is dedicated to generating and disseminating knowledge for the stewardship of natural and managed environments and the sustainable use of their products and services through teaching, research, and outreach. Development of concise and timely fact sheets available to the academic community, the natural resource professions, public agencies, and the public is one mechanism of disseminating this knowledge. Although the current index is not meant to represent a comprehensive and exhaustive record of the College's research activity, it provides information on topics ranging from traditional forest management and products, natural resource economics and policy, and emerging areas such as phytoremediation, forest canopy research, and urban forest benefits. The index will be updated to reflect new and revised fact sheets.
