Woody Debris Management Program
This program encourages the development of new techniques and technologies to manage and utilize woody debris from logging or land development without compromising air quality.
WFORG
The WFORG’s mission is to work on wildfire operations research, which includes evaluating fire equipment and protective clothing, reviewing and refining fire management systems and addressing current operational issues that have been identified by fire management practitioners within the forest industry. Research outputs are intended to benefit firefighters, fire managers, equipment manufacturers and service agencies.
