The goal of McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Research funding is to increase forestry research in the production, utilization, and protection of forestland; to train future forestry scientists; and to involve other disciplines in forestry research. The eligible forestry research mandated areas as defined by the McIntire- Stennis legislation are:
1.) reforestation and management of land for the production of crops of timber and other related products of the forest;
2.) management of forest and related watershed lands to improve conditions of water flow and to protect resources against floods and erosion;
3.) management of forest and related rangeland for production of forage for domestic livestock and game and improvement of food and habitat for wildlife; management of forest lands for outdoor recreation; 4.) protection of forest land and resources against fire, insects, diseases, or other destructive agents;
5.) utilization of wood and other forest products; and
6.) development of sound policies for the management of forest lands and the harvesting and marketing of forest products; and such other studies as may be necessary to obtain the fullest and most effective use of forest resources.
