Many in the Rhinelander area have heard about the Forest Service laboratory in town or may have noticed it as they drove past; but what goes on in and around the building might seem mysterious! An upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate lab upgrades, followed by an open house will provide community members the opportunity to see for themselves. Dr. Cynthia West, Station Director for the Forest Service Northern Research Station (NRS), invites you to attend the ribbon cutting and open house at the USDA Forest Service, NRS, Institute for Applied Ecosystem Studies field laboratory.
