What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Over 35 students worked full or part time on the Experimental Forest during the summer and academic year as forest technicians, members of the student logging crew, wildland and prescribed fire staff, and the UIEF student planting crew. Summer fire staff successfully responded and contained 3 wildland fires on Moscow Mountain, workingin close collaboration with Idaho Department of Lands fire staff and local agencies and conducted approximately 50 acres of broadcast, understory burning. Students received hands-on training in stand-based forest inventory methods, lidar-based inventory methods, silvicultural treatment and evaluation, wildland and prescribed fire, and applied forest operations. Students participated in presale timber marking, boundary marking,harvest layout, and harvest administration. Members of the Student Logging Crew received training in safe use of some of the most cutting-edge forestry equipment in the world, including the first and only articulated, tracked grapple skidder working in the western U.S. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?A presentation highlighting cumulative results of real-time positioning, smart phone and smart watch activity recognition research to support precision forestry was presented at the Council on Forest Engineering (COFE) - International Union of Forestry Mechanization (FORMEC) meetings in Corvallis, OR and received the award for Best Presentation from over 120 given globally. A presentation about precision forestry and the future of forest operations was given for approximately 250 participants at the annual Forester's Forum meeting in Coeur d'Alene. A Forest Owners Field Day or over 75 private landowners was coordinated on the UIEF in May 2021 with the Idaho Forest Owners Association. Several presentations and news items associated with the ICCU arena were disseminated through various media. Multiple peer-reviewed publications associated with current research were published in late 2020 and early 2021. UIEF and University of Idaho social media posted regularly about our activities. UIEF social media was the second most active and followed unit in the College of Natural Resources in 2021. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?This is the final report for this project. We anticipate initiating a new project to continue to document the impact of our ongoing research, teaching and demonstration activities on the University of Idaho Experimental Forest.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
2021 was an extremely active year for the University of Idaho Experimental Forest (UIEF). The College of Natural Resources and UIEF delivered on long-term plans to mechanize the UIEF Student Logging Crew (SLC) in order to celebrate our 50th year of operation. Mechanizing the SLC corresponds with offering a new, two-year Associate's Degree based on the UIEF and short-term operator-training workshops. Numerous faculty and graduate students in approximately 6 different departments in the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources, College of Agriculture, College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences established new research projects. Three faculty researchers at Washington State University established new projects. Examples of graduate students research included use of ground-based lidar to characterize wildlife habitat, use of single-tree lidar and real-time GNSS location systems to model forestry equipment work activities to support precision forestry, and characterization of western red cedar tree physiology in drought stress conditions. Working with Northwest Management Inc., a forestry consulting firm in Moscow, a complete single-tree inventory delived from lidar was developed for the entire UIEF. The UIEF supported construction of the Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) Arena on the University of Idaho campus. The arena is a demonstration in use of sustainable, locally-sourced forest products.

Target Audience: As anExperiment Station at Idaho's land grant institution, we serve the people of the State of Idaho. Foresters, loggers, forest industry, state and federal agencies, private forest landowners, and the forestry and forest science communities regionally, nationally and globally, K-12 schools, Idaho's two- and four-year colleges and universities, and recreational users of the UIEF are our primary target audiences. Undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff in the College of Natural Resources and other Colleges and Departments are also important audiences as we seek to grow opportunities for collaboration and synergy among different subject areas to solve problems toadvance forestry. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Over 25 students worked full or part time on the Experimental Forest during the summer and academic year as forest technicians, members of the student logging crew, wildland andprescribed fire staff, and the UIEF student planting crew. Both in class and as employees, students received hands-on training in stand-based forest inventory methods, silviculture, wildland and prescribed fire, and applied forest operations. Students participated in presale timber marking, boundary marking, and harvest layout, and harvest administration. Members of the Student Logging Crew received training in safe use of chainsaws, timber falling, and heavy equipment use. Several graduate students also participated in various aspects of forest planning for forest management and wildland fire management. Nine student staff participated in a Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) fiber sourcing audit. Over 30 students from Orofino High School participated in a How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Outreach and engagement included a new, weekly seminar series offered at the University of Idaho that highlightedrecently published and current, active research. Over 25 graduate students participated in the seminar series, as well as various administrators, faculty and members of the public.Apresentation about UIEF student leadership model was given at the Biennial Conference on University Education in Natural Resources. A presentation on the history of the UIEF and its current management was given to over 300 loggers as part of the Idaho Logger Education to Advance Professionalism (LEAP) meetings. Additionally, over 30 students from Orofino High School participated in a field tour early in the year before safety concerns associated with covid-19 impacted our normal outreach operations. In 2020 The Experimental Forest worked with the regional forest industry in Idaho to help construct the University of Idaho Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) basketball arena featuring use of mass timber and Idaho Forest Products. Numerous presentations and news items associated with the ICCU arena have been disseminated through various media. Multiple peer-reviewed publications associated with current research were published in 2020. Use of UIEF social media increased to over 500 active followers who received a variety of information and current research and results. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?During the next reporting period, we have numerous new research projects in active development, as well as new proposals being submitted to industry, state and federal agency funding sources. We are currently planning a field day for Idaho Forest Landowners in June, as well as a teacher tour to highlight foresty and forest science for Idaho's teachers. UIEF is engaged in a broad effort to expand non-motorizeed recreation through planned hiking and mountain bike trails, cross-country skiing, and other activities. This increasing support for recreational uses on the forest is closely coupled with serving our educational and outreach mission at a higher level: we are coupling the recreational use with both physical and mobile-based information about forestry, current forest research and teaching activities on the UIEF. Over the last year, we have implemented stand treatments in several areas in Troy, Princeton and Harvard that have been targeted for increasing public engagement and exposure to dissemination of research results through innovative, mobile technologymethods in the year ahead and beyond.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
2020 was among the most active and productive years in history for the Univeristy of Idaho Experimental Forest (UIEF). The UIEF continued to fully embrace a model in which undergraduate forestry staff are responsible for forest management at a high level of responsibility. Under their leadership, over 400 acres of the UIEF were treated in harvesting, thinning, prescribed burning, and planting activities that were closely coupled with highly active research and teaching projects. Research was conducted by a diverse group of faculty, graduate and undergraduate researchers in the College of Natural Resources, College of Ag and Life Sciences, College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences, College of Art and Architecture, and other Colleges at the University of Idaho, as well as collaborators at Washington State University and various partnering state and federal agencies. Examples of new and ongoing projects included evaluation of individual tree lidar map products for several operational forestry uses, evaluation of airborne and terrestrial lidar scanning to characterize forest wildlife habitat, modeling of snow hydrology as a function of forest canopy characteristics, and use of smart phone sensors to characterize logging equipment movements and productivity. NIFA support was leveraged with over $14 million in new research proposal activity spanning various agency and industry sources. ?
