Experimental Forests.
North Central Research Station's 14 experimental forests cover a total of 64,000 acres, most of it on National Forest land dedicated to research. Because of their unique designation, history, and promise, experimental forests occupy a special part of the Midwest landscape.
Experimental forests are canvasses on which some of the most inventive minds in North Central's history have worked out their ideas. Replicated studies, maintained over decades, allowed us to first describe our region's resources and then to develop the stewardship principles we practice today.
