The H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Blue River, Oregon is a US Forest Service property dedicated to research and education. It is jointly managed by the College of Forestry, Oregon State University, and the US Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station. Established in 1948, it has become one of the most heavily utilized Experimental Forests in the country, with more than 100 separate research projects annually during the last 4 years. About 85 scientists and 30 graduate students were involved in research at the Andrews Forest in 1986. Three factors contribute to this heavy use: 1) quality and variety of the natural resources/habitats available; 2) numerous long-term data sets and permanent plots; and 3) a tradition of collaborative research on a wide range of biological and ecological topics. The scope of the research program at the Andrews Forest is currently limited by lack of equipment and physical plant resources. This project will provide funds to: 1) help equip a laboratory for soil and tissue analyses; 2) acquire streamflow and temperature data loggers; 3) help construct a Research Support Building; and 4) add a large (24x36 in) plotter to the computer facilities. Substantial cost sharing funds will be provided by Oregon State University and the US Forest Service.

位于俄勒冈州蓝河的H. J. Andrews实验森林是美国林务局专门用于研究和教育的财产。它由俄勒冈州立大学林业学院和美国林务局西北太平洋研究站共同管理。它成立于1948年，已成为该国利用最多的试验林之一，在过去四年中每年有100多个独立的研究项目。1986年，大约85名科学家和30名研究生参与了安德鲁斯森林的研究。造成这种大量使用的原因有三个：1)现有自然资源/生境的质量和多样性；2)大量的长期数据集和永久图；3)在广泛的生物和生态主题上进行合作研究的传统。安德鲁斯森林研究项目的范围目前由于缺乏设备和物理植物资源而受到限制。该项目将提供资金用于：1)为土壤和组织分析实验室提供设备；2)获取流量和温度数据记录仪；3)帮助建设科研支持楼；4)在电脑设备上增加一个大的（24x36英寸）绘图仪。大量的费用分摊资金将由俄勒冈州立大学和美国林务局提供。
