S2The Fernow Experimental Forest, a 3,640 acre tract on the Monongahela National Forest, was set aside for the use of this research unit as an outdoor laboratory for studies in managing mountainous forest land. The forest stands here are mixtures of old-growth and second-growth hardwoods dating from around 1905, when heavy cuttings were made. In topography, history of cutting, climate, and variety of species the Fernow Forest is representative of much of the timberland in West Virginia and adjacent states. Though the Fernow Forest has been the main locale of the research program, other studies have been made in other parts of West Virginia, in western Maryland, and in southwestern Pennsylvania. A number of study areas are located on the Monongahela National Forest. And in 1957 an agreement was made to cooperate in forest research with the Union Carbide-Olefins Company on their land near Charleston, West Virginia. Studies are now under way there on a 2,500-acre area known as the Blue Creek Experimental Forest. The program of research at Elkins is concerned primarily with multiple use of forest land. It stresses integrated management studies aimed toward finding practical solutions to problems of managing the timber, water, and game resources of this area. Results from these studies should provide bases for judging compatibility of uses and determining use priorities. The pages to follow present an overall view of the Elkins research program and highlight the more significant results.S3.
