In 1925, the Northern Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Station was officially established to coordinate the work of experimental forests in Montana, Idaho, and Washington State. Headquartered in Missoula, Montana, the station included forests such as the Priest River Experimental Forest, the Coram Experimental Forest, the Deception Creek Experimental Forest, and the Upper Columbia Research Center. The primary fields of research conducted by the station were forest economics, forest management, fire control, products utilization, range management, and flood control surveys. By 1954, the station combined with the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, based in Ogden, Utah. The currently station is referred to as the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station and is based in Utah.
