Abstract
Thoughts on 41.5 years of Forest Service Aspen Research
Dale L. Bartos
On June 28, 2013, I retired from the US Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station after 41.5 years of service. The bulk of my Forest Service career has dealt with the ecology and restoration of aspen landscapes. In January of 1972, I joined the Forest Service Research’s Aspen Ecosystem Project in Logan, Utah. This project studied aspen systems exclusively and consisted of 4 scientists (Bill Laycock, George Schier, Walt McDonough, and myself). Norb DeByle joined the project later. Forest Service Research funded this aspen project with Range Management funds. At that time it was felt that aspen systems were an exclusive range issue; therefore, support from other disciplines never materialized.
