Forest Service R&D research needs to reflect the diversity of natural resources across the country. To accomplish this, research is conducted at nearly 80 locations across the United States, organized around five regional research stations plus the International Institute of Tropical Forestry in Puerto Rico and the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. R&D laboratories are complemented by a network of 80 experimental forests. In addition, R&D research includes collaborations in other countries.
