USDA Forest Products Laboratory Tour

TOUR DESCRIPTION:

Have you ever driven out University Avenue, saw the US Forrest Products Lab and wondered what do they do there? Now is your chance to find out.

The USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) has been conducting forest products research in Madison, Wisconsin since 1910. The Lab celebrated its Centennial with the Dedication of the 87,000 square foot Centennial Research Facility (CRF).

If time permits, the one and a half hour tour will also include the Research Demonstration House.
