Building A Research Legacy: The Intermountain Station 1911-1997. 2006 CD PDF format Abstract Includes highlights of the history of organizations that preceded formation of the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station in 1954. Provides detailed accounts of Intermountain Station research and administrative accomplishments, some of the people who led activities, and changes in the organization from 1954 through 1997 when the Intermountain and Rocky Mountain Stations merged to become the Rocky Mountain Research Station. Many significant Station publications are indicated by title in the text, and the references list includes other publications that provide additional historic background on research programs and results. On the Cover Three giants among the scientists who worked at the Intermountain Station and its predecessor organizations are superimposed on a Salmon River scene. The river was the boundary between Forest Service Regions 1 and 4. The two Regions encompassed the territory where most Station research was conducted throughout the bulk of its history. Chuck Wellner, Arthur Sampson, and Harry Gisborne (left to right) stood out from the many who contributed new knowlege to help solve natural resource management problems. Gisborne, Sampson, and Wellner contributed much more than improved techniques. They provided fundamental ideas and leadership that inspired many others to bring about continuing improvements in the conservation of America's natural resources. |
