The Pacific
Northwest Research Station provides
scientific information to land managers, policymakers, and citizens.
The
Station has 11 locations in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington and
about 500 employees. Our mission is to generate and communicate
scientific knowledge that helps people understand and make informed
choices about people,
natural resources, and the environment.

 A
Century of Discovery: 100 Years of U.S. Experimental
Forests and Ranges
It is no coincidence that the Nation’s experimental
forests and ranges often encompass landscapes that are home
to endangered species. Cascade Head
Experimental Forest,
on the central Oregon Coast, is just one example in the Pacific
Northwest. The site is inhabited by four such species—the
spotted owl, marbled murrelet, Oregon silverspot butterfly,
and coho salmon. Because research is the primary focus on
these sites, scientists can study a species’ distribution
and ecology over time, helping to inform policies aimed at
protecting and restoring their populations. Cascade Head’s
Salmon River Estuary was recently restored using science
generated at the site. It now supports many forms of life. Learn
more about PNW’s Experimental Forests.
