About Us
The Pacific Southwest Research Station represents Forest Service Research & Development in the states of California and Hawaii and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands. The region has the lowest, driest desert in the country, the highest elevations within the 48 contiguous States, and the wettest tropical forests. It is the home of an abundant diversity of native plants and animals and nearly 50 percent of the nation's threatened and endangered species. PSW scientists conduct a broad array of natural resources research to achieve our mission to "develop and communicate science needed to sustain forest ecosystems and their benefits to society." Organizational OverviewOur organization consists of 11 teams within four Research Programs. Most of our more than 45 permanent research scientists work from one of eight PSW locations -- seven in California, and one in Hawaii. |
