Current Forest Tree Improvement Research in the Lake States

Some 70 research workers in 11 research agencies presently are conducting 113 formal forest tree improvement studies in the Lake States, according to a survey made by the Lake States Forest Tree Improvement Committee in 1959. In addition, most of these agencies are also carrying on a number of less intensive informal studies. Many of these research agencies are cooperating with each other in this work, but 56 other, mostly non-research, agencies have also aided the projects through providing land, field help, financial assistance, nursery facilities, seed, and other items.
