Welcome to the Southern Research Station's Forest Operations Work Unit. The Unit conducts basic and applied research and transfers these results to the public.
In addition, the Unit is involved in demonstrations, technical consultations, and public presentations. Our stakeholders include forest industry, the National Forest System, other government agencies, private landowners, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and university researchers. Many of the Unit's studies are conducted in cooperation with universities, forest industry, and independent producers.
Scientists in the Unit are nationally and internationally recognized, serving on committees and numerous professional societies.
