2025 Annual Report

The Cooperative Forestry Research Unit has put on another solid year of growth and in doing so, has reached its 50th anniversary. I like to think of our research history thus far somewhat like the growth rings on a tree. We can look back and see which years were humming with field experiments, which years focused heavily on monitoring and protecting endangered species, which years our control account was healthy enough to dream up and install long-term field research networks, many of which still exist today, and which years may have seemed more quiet outwardly, but were paced by months of reporting, listening sessions, meetings, and trying like hell to put operational research to work in the hands of our foresters, entomologists, loggers, citizen scientists, students, and perhaps even you, reader.

I hope you enjoy the 2025 Cooperative Forestry Research Unit Annual Report,

Regina Smith, Program Manager, Cooperative Forestry Research Unit
