Research at the Forest and Grassland Research Laboratory falls into three categories:

• Invasive Species: Invasive species research is focused on developing best management practices of invasive plants, including evaluating the efficacy of chemical and biological control and examining the subsequent restoration of native plant communities.
• Wildlife: Wildlife research at the is directed toward answering questions of the effects various land management activities (primarily grazing and timber harvest) have on communities and populations of wildlife in an ecological context.
• For Stakeholders: In addition to invasive species and wildlife issues, the Forest and Grassland Research Laboratory is conducting research to address additional questions asked of us by our stakeholders.
