RTI would like to recognize and thank Paul Pingrey for allowing
us to use the content of his website( Digital Grove). Most of the
images and content found in the links below stem directly from Digital
Grove. Some changes have been made to fit information within our
web design, and at times to relate it to the Northwest region of
the US. The information from the Digital Grove website is now being managed out of New Brunswick, Canada at the ForestPal website.
