It is hosted outside of the RTI website at forestandrange.org, and requires free registration. Basic Hand and Power Forestry Tools This website is funded by RTI and WSU Department of Natural Resource Sciences. It is intended for the small-scale forest landowner who is faced with the many tasks required to maintain a healthy, productive woodlot. These activities may include: pre-commercial thinning, pruning, fire hazard reduction, snag creation, dead wood placement, herbicide or fertilizer application, seeding roads and trails, tree planting, and other improvement work. You can do much good for your woodlot and at the same time derive great pleasure in doing this work when you know what needs to be done and what tools can best and most economically help you do the job. This web site has been developed to show you some of these tools. a higher education in resource sciences: The use and preservation of our natural resources is an issue of extreme importance. How better to make a difference in this area than to study a natural science at UW or WSU? Both schools work with RTI in the effort of making current technologies available in rural communities. There are a wide variety of scholarships available. If this interests you, please contact the following institutions. The Student Services office is staffed by: Undergraduate Contact: Debra Salas-Haynes, Undergraduate Counseling Services Coordinator Graduate Program Contacts: Amanda Davis, Graduate Counseling Services Coordinator; Student Services Phone # (206) 543-7081 Be sure to ask about available undergraduate and graduate scholarship and financial assistance programs!
