Planning

Activities of the Cooperative are guided by a strategic plan which  includes 1) research projects for the five-year period; 2) plan of action including timetables for the initiation, progress, and completion of research projects; and 3) budgets and estimates of in-kind contributions for each project.

Approach

A number of issues currently deserve study with regard to intensive forest management and environmental watershed research. In the long run the Cooperative intends to support a number of projects that will develop new knowledge at different temporal and spatial scales and in various geographic and geologic settings. This goal was supported with the addition of the Trask and Alsea Studies which join the Hinkle Study.
