<BR><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">The Westside Silviculture Options Team
is a division of the PNW Research Station's <A HREF="http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/proglk.htm#resource" TARGET="_top">Resource
Management and Productivity Program</A>. Our team's research focuses on
developing and evaluating a wide range of silvicultural systems to meet
diverse management goals.</FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">Two team members, Steve Reutebuch and Bob
McGaughey are located in Seattle, WA on the University of Washington campus.
They participate in the Cooperative for Forest-Systems Engineering (FORSYS),
a partnership between the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research
Station and the University of Washington, College of Forest Resources.
The cooperative exists to address difficult problems in forestry through
engineering research, development, and technology transfer. Forest Service
researchers, University faculty, and students form the cooperative staff
and participate in synergistic endeavors to discover, develop, adapt, and
disseminate knowledge and technologies in forest-systems engineering.</FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">The mission of the FORSYS Cooperative is
to conduct forest-systems engineering research that will help solve difficult
forest harvesting and management problems; and to promote the wise application
of forest-systems engineering solutions to forestry problems. Specific
objectives of the FORSYS Cooperative are:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI>
<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">Contribute to the base knowledge needed for
engineering solutions to harvesting and other forest operations problems
on sensitive sites</FONT></LI>
<LI>
<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">Provide effective methods for collecting and
using data about forest-systems in the forest management decision making
process</FONT></LI>
<LI>
<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">Vigorously pursue technology transfer of forest-systems
engineering research results</FONT></LI>
