Fort Valley Experimental Forest — Dr. W. Keith Moser.

The Fort Valley Experimental Forest was established in August 1908 as the first Forest Service research facility in the U.S., and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is still a field and laboratory site of major importance for research into forest management.

Keith Moser is the Scientist in Charge (SIC) of the Fort Valley Experimental Forest. A Research Forester for the Rocky Mountain Research Station, Keith researches the adaptive capacity of Forest and Woodland ecosystems to new and variable weather and disturbance. He is especially interested in the connection between ecological processes and policy and management actions.
