Don C. Bragg, Project Leader & Research Forester

- Ph.D., Utah State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Foresters study many aspects of trees and forests, from traditional silviculture to carbon storage to the relationship between humans and trees. My forestry research concentrates on the ecology and management of pine forests in the southern United States.
