Abstract
Knowing the WAA Through Connection
Paul C. Rogers
The Western Aspen Alliance (WAA) was founded in 2008 with a three-year start-up fund from Utah State University’s Quinney Foundation. Envisioned as a partnership between USU and the U.S. Forest Service’s research branch, the organization quickly attracted multiple partners in the form of state and federal agencies. Thus, a virtual organization was born with the primary function of bringing current aspen science to field practitioners. A secondary mission, to support active aspen research, involved facilitating interdisciplinary teams to address key issues. This basic structure, with science outreach overseen by a Steering Committee and research by a Science Advisory Panel, remains in place today.
