伙伴关系的力量
通过自然资源学院促成的关系, project stakeholders were able to source a significant share of the Arena’s timber products from within the region.
伊利诺伊大学实验森林
90多年来, the University of 爱达荷州 Experimental Forest has provided a working forest classroom for students in the 自然资源学院.
管理单位, special management areas and outdoor classrooms provide the connection to field-based education, 教师和研究生研究. 自然资源学院 public outreach workshops and field tours help to support and fulfill the land-grant mission of the University of 爱达荷州: research, 教学, 和服务.
娱乐
徒步旅行，山地自行车，骑马，还有 越野滑雪 是探索森林道路和小径的好方法吗. 游客们被鼓励去探索Upper Hatter的小径, 铁杉, 玄武岩山, 及大草甸溪特别管理区, as well as a network of smaller SMA parcels with unique conservation value that support research and 教学 throughout the UIEF. 我们欢迎任何想在森林里度过一段时间的人. Please follow signs or contact the Experimental Forest Manager to make sure you do not interrupt research activities.
No motorized recreational access of any kind is permitted on the Experimental Forest. 不允许打靶. 所有在实验森林的狩猎活动都需要免费许可证. 许可证和更多信息可通过 给罗布·基夫发邮件.
因为它们体积小，娱乐用途多, Roger Guernsey户外教室(Pinestia)不允许打猎。, 布洛杰特户外教室, 或大草甸溪休闲区.
户外实验室
爱达荷州是我们的教室. 无论是为未来的职业生涯学习还是进行研究, University of 爱达荷州 students are learning skills that will lead them on their path to the future.
国际田联运动会
请计划参加我们的 爱达荷州森林所有者协会 (IFOA) 2023年6月17日星期六的森林所有者野外日. This year’s field day will be at the Big Meadow Field Station on Tamarack Road in Troy, 爱达荷州.
实验森林是由八个属性组成的网络, 包括管理单位, 树的农场, outdoor classrooms and special management areas gifted to the 自然资源学院 for forestry research, 教学及示范目的.
大草甸溪单位
大草甸溪单元位于莫斯科山的南侧. The majority of the parcel was part of the original gifting of Latah County units that occurred during the early 1930's.
尽管这些建筑现在早已不复存在, 大草甸溪曾经是平民保护团(CCC) S 260营地的所在地, and many of the direct-seeded and planted stands originated during restoration efforts carried out by the CCC. Maps and detailed records of the original seeding and planting units are on file in the Experimental Forest historical archives in Phinney Hall B-13 and B-17.
东帽人溪单位
东哈特溪是249英亩玄武岩山特别管理区的所在地. 从40年代末到60年代中期, much of East Hatter was home to a large deer enclosure used for a variety of short and long-term wildlife management research by students and faculty in the Department of Fish and Wildlife Sciences.
West Hatter Creek单位
This management unit along the West Hatter branch and Long Creek tributaries to the Hatter Creek drainage range from productive stands in Western red cedar and grand fir habitat types on north-facing slopes to Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir stands on southern slopes at lower elevation.
West Hatter是外展和推广活动的热门地点, 位于普林斯顿附近, 爱达荷州.
平溪组
The 平溪组 is home to two of the Experimental Forest's special management areas. 平溪特别管理区位于8号公路北侧, 就在铁路桥西边11号公路入口处. 铁杉特别管理区位于12号公路上约4英里处. 12号公路在8号公路的南侧.
The Flat Creek Cabin on Road 11 (also called The Cabin Road) was built in 1949 as a research station for field experiments and group outings in the forest.
罗杰根西户外教室
The 罗杰根西户外教室 (also known as Pinestia) was gifted to the 自然资源学院 by former state forester Roger Guernsey, to provide a demonstration area illustrating principles of small woodlot management. Cathedral Ponderosa pines are interlaced with clusters of young regeneration in gaps. The current standing volume of timber at Pinestia is approximately equal to the volume that has been harvested over the last 30 years.
访问
在普林斯顿6号高速公路向东行驶，向北(左)转到金山路. Continue for approximately 1 mile and look for a small gravel driveway access surrounded by large Ponderosa pine trees on the left. 当你进入停车场时，寻找右边的一个黑色邮箱. In this mailbox you will find pamphlets leading you on a guided tour of the property that covers the unique features of its history and management.
布洛杰特户外教室
The 80-acre 布洛杰特户外教室 was gifted to the college by Earle and Eva Blodgett in 1988 to provide a 教学 classroom close to the Moscow campus. 学造林的学生, 生态系统过程, 森林作业经常将教室用作野外实验室. The annual Future Farmers of America (FFA) statewide Forestry Career Development Event is hosted at Blodgett.
马修米. 麦戈文纪念树农场
马修·M. 麦戈文纪念树农场 provides an ideal location for Extension forestry workshops in the Cougar Creek drainage, 靠近科达伦. Mary Alice McGovern gifted this 238-acre property to the college with a primary objective of demonstrating forest management techniques. A log kiosk approximately 600 feet in from the UIEF forest access road gate describes the McGovern family, 该物业的历史和当前的森林管理目标.
Class I Stream Shade Rule Demonstration Area: 爱达荷州's new Class I Stream Shade Rule went into effect in June 2014. 欲了解更多有关该规则的信息，请访问 爱达荷州土地部门的情况说明书.
The 自然资源学院 is working closely with 爱达荷州 Department of Environmental Quality and 爱达荷州 Dept. of Lands to install new demonstration areas on the Experimental Forest to show small landowners, 林业工作者, 以及承包商如何按照新规定进行标记, 以及收获后不同的治疗选择. 2014年秋季, 预处理阴影沿1,用太阳探路者探测到美洲狮溪两百英尺的范围, 并测量了所有树木，以确定50英尺间隔的相对放养量. Treatments demonstrating the two Shade Rule options (60/30 and 60/10) were installed in winter 2015, 有迹象显示治疗前后的测量. 请联系森林管理员 Rob Keefe 了解更多信息.
先驱诺克斯实验森林
1,650-acre 先驱诺克斯实验森林 in McCall is currently managed by the Nokes family with management help from the College. 最终, management will transition to the Experimental Forest and continue the legacy of forest stewardship at this special place.
