More about the Dorena Genetic Resource Center from: www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r6/landmanagement/resourcemanageme...

"Dorena Genetic Resource Center (DGRC), located just west of Dorena Lake and near Cottage Grove, Oregon, is unique to the USDA Forest Service (History of DGRC). DGRC provides forest genetic services to the 19 national forests and cooperators in Oregon and Washington. The Center offers a bridge between research and production, and plays a key role in the Region's genetic resource program.

 

From the Center, a resident team of foresters, geneticist, associated specialists and highly skilled technicians provide many diverse services with a focus on ecosystem management and forest health. Our cooperators, include geneticists, pathologists, and other resource professionals with the Forest Service, BLM, and other organizations in Oregon, Washington, and elsewhere.

 

We help ensure biodiversity through restoring and sustaining white pines in ecosystems by developing blister rust disease-resistant western white pine and sugar pine."
