- The USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory conduct research on expanded
and diverse aspects of wood use. Research concentrates on pulp and paper
products, housing and structural uses of wood, wood preservation, wood and
fungi identification, and finishing and restoration of wood products. In
addition to traditional lines of research, FPL is responding to environmental
pressures on the forest resource by using cutting-edge techniques to study
recycling, develop environmentally friendly technology, and understand
ecosystem-based forest management.
