Our work benefits society through building the science and technology workforce of the future, expanding world-class research, and strengthening America’s science and technology ecosystem. We engage society through STEM education, public engagement, enhanced research infrastructure, and partnerships with federal land managers and local community organizations and landowners.
We are ecosystem scientists, students, educators, natural resource managers, writers, artists, musicians, and photographers. The Andrews Forest Program at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is administered cooperatively by the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station (USFS Research), Oregon State University (OSU), and the Willamette National Forest.
We'd love to know how your experience with the Andrews Forest data catalog went - whether you found exactly what you were looking for or hit a dead end. Your feedback helps us improve data discovery and access.
