We will discuss developing a network of long-term research sites focused on providing forest managers and interested scientists with access to data, field demonstration, and information related to developing issues in forest science. The challenges and benefits associated with this type of endeavor will be explored.

Learning Objectives:

List and describe the benefits and challenges associated with maintaining long-term research networks.
Observe and define products from successful research and demonstration networks.
Identify potential linkages between traditional forest science experimental designs and those relying on remote sensing.
Contribute their insights and thoughts with other interested participants and learn from one another.
