ANNUAL REPORT TO CONTRIBUTORS JULY 1, 2003 – JUNE 30, 2004UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTONCollege of Forest ResourcesCREATING FUTURES SINCE 1907

Because of youLast year, the College sponsored two lecture series to share research results and to encouragedebate on pressing issues of the sustainability of our region’s natural resources and environmentalservices. The Denman Forestry Issues Series, made possible with a gift from Mary Ellen andRichard Denman, explored questions of federal forest land management, wildfire ecology in theinland west, and invasive species that are threatening our natural ecosystems. “Sustaining ourNorthwest World,” a lecture series co-sponsored by the College and the UW Alumni Association,and made possible with funds from the Rachel Woods Endowment, presented programs on thechallenges of forest stewardship in the 21st century and on sustaining wildlife habitat in urbanizingand wildland ecosystems. New programs in these two series are being planned for 2005.Donor support of our role in sharing with the public the exploration and discovery undertakenby our faculty and students is critical. Your gifts contribute to the search for knowledge andits applications and make you a true partner in helping us to achieve our mission and vision.

DEAN’S MESSAGEI hope that in reading the following stories you will be inspired and rewarded by theaccomplishments that our students, teachers, and researchers have achieved with yourgenerous support. 2004 was a truly outstanding year for the College of Forest Resources.With your private support, we created new endowments for student and facultysupport, were well on our way to rebuilding and enhancing Merrill Hall at our Centerfor Urban Horticulture, recruited a record number of new students to our paper scienceand engineering program through the generosity of the Washington Pulp and PaperFoundation, and awarded scholarships and fellowships to over 80 students across allof the College’s programs. Donor support helped fund technology transfer to rural forestlandowners through the Rural Technology Initiative and provided invaluable funding forresearch in projects as diverse as saving rare native plants, devising high tech instrumentsfor fiber processing, and studying calcium deficiency as a potential cause of crooked growthin Douglas-fir. Your continued generosity will help us achieve our goal of raising $17.7million as part of the University of Washington’s “Campaign UW: Creating Futures.”The three-way partnership of support from state funding, research grants, and private donorshelped the College achieve many successes in addition to the stories that you will read inthis report, including:• Ongoing research in forest management and forested ecosystems carried out by the StandManagement Cooperative, the Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility, and the OlympicNatural Resources Center.• Increased research funding, with total expenditures of $8,938,191 for fiscal year 2004, anincrease of over $1 million from the previous year.• A successful faculty search resulting in the hiring of internationally known botanist Dr. DavidJ. Mabberley as Director of the Center for Urban Horticulture and Washington Park Arboretum.Dr. Mabberley will hold the Orin and Althea Soest Chair in Horticultural Science.• Approval to begin a faculty search for a new Director of the Precision Forestry Cooperative.This position will receive additional funding through the Corkery Family Endowed Chair inForest Resources.• The launching of the Northwest Environmental Forum at the College of Forest Resources, toprovide a collaborative meeting and work space for the application of scientific and policyinformation to environmental and natural resource issues.• Enhancing links with our UW campus partners, including international student exchangethrough the UW Worldwide Initiative and the hiring of Dr. Anne Steinemann in the College ofEngineering as the new Director of the Center for Water and Watershed Studies.• Expansion of international experiences for our faculty and students in places as diverse asCosta Rica, China, Berlin, Taiwan, and Scandinavia.• Finalizing a Working Together Agreement for Development with the Washington ParkArboretum, the Arboretum Foundation, and the City of Seattle.Without private support many of these wonderful success stories would not have been possible.Donors to the College of Forest Resources have helped us in “creating futures since 1907.”Thank you for your enduring commitment to this vital enterprise.1B. Bruce BareDean and Rachel A. Woods ProfessorThanks!

2Creating Futures since 1907Since its beginnings in 1907, alumni and friends have supported and sustained the College’smission and vision by creating endowed funds for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, anddiscretionary use. The College’s first endowment was created in 1924. Each new endowmentis a lasting legacy and is an investment in the present and in the future. Today, the Collegeis fortunate to have the invaluable resource of 59 donor-funded endowments. The legacycontinued with the following six new invested or planned gifts in fiscal year 2004 to benefitfaculty and student excellence:Background photo: Morten J.

Educating the next generation of resource leaders and scientistsEighty-two students, nearly one in four of the College’s Autumn 2004 enrollment, receiveddonor-supported scholarships or fellowships during the past year. This essential donor supporthelps the College educate the next generation of managers and scientists who will sustainthe economic, ecological, and social values of our forests and other natural resources.Most scholarships in the College are endowed gift funds that will provide income inperpetuity — a truly lasting investment in the future!Stephanie Bohlman, 2004 graduate of the forest ecosystem analysis PhD program, receivedthe Walter B. Nettleton Endowed Scholarship during 2004. Now working at theSmithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Brazil, Stephanie studied how remote sensingtechnology can be used to determine carbon uptake and map tropical forest species.Scholarship and grant support made it possible for her to do field research and to participatein the JASON project’s “Rainforests at the Crossroads” location in Panama, where middleschool students, teachers, and scientists explored rainforests while JASON’s worldwidenetwork of classrooms participated via televised broadcasts and interactive technology.Stephanie provided scientific oversight for the field broadcasts, which were watched by anestimated 1.6 million people worldwide.Carrie and Brian Spradlin, spouses who are both undergraduates in the College, also receivedfinancial support from generous donors. Carrie, a wildlife science student who received theJames Ridgeway Endowed Scholarship during 2004, was also awarded one of six UWLibrary Research Awards for Undergraduates for her project on Rocky Mountain bighornsheep. Brian, a forest management student, received the Mackie Memorial EndowedScholarship, as well as support from the Washington Contract Loggers Association.Each year in spring, the College honors scholarship donors and recipients at an informalluncheon on the UW campus, providing a wonderful opportunity for an exchange of ideas andfor giving heartfelt thanks to our generous supporters.Photo below left: JASON project in Panama rainforest.

Creating a vision for protecting and using the forests of the world4The Denman Foresty Issues Series, made possible by support from the DenmanEndowment for Student Excellence in Forest Resources, presented three programsduring 2003-2004. The programs, videotaped before a live audience for later showing onUWTV and on streaming video on the UWTV website, provide information and discussionon timely forestry issues.A program in October 2003 on federal forest land management policy featured Mark Rey,USDA Undersecretary for Environment and Natural Resources, as the keynote speaker. Theprogram included research by College faculty on topics ranging from fire to endangeredspecies to forestry communities.The dry forests in the interior western United States are vulnerable to catastrophic fire, andthe 2003 fire season was among the worst in modern history. The March 2004 Denmanprogram, “Wildfire in the West,” explored how the current fire scenario in the inland west isdifferent from historical scenarios, addressed topics ranging from ecological to social issues,and provided an overview of the latest wildfire research and the desired future conditionof these forests from the perspective of environmental organizations and public land andtribal forest managers.Alien invaders in the Pacific Northwest faced exposure in June 2004 during the Denmanprogram, “Invasive species: Impacts of invasive plants, animals, insects, and diseases in thePacific Northwest.” A number of these invaders are already damaging natural ecosystems,agricultural and industrial forestlands, and shorelines, and the program featured currentresearch by College faculty, as well as a management perspective from alumni working inthe field.The Denman Series is an example of how donor support can bring research discoveriesto the public. Through its many research and technical transfer programs, including theStand Management Cooperative, the Rural Technology Initiative, the Precision ForestryCooperative, the Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility, and the Olympic NaturalResources Center, forestry research in the College is truly creating a vision for protectingand using the forests in our region, our nation, and the world. The research covers the broadspectrum of forestry production, management, and science, including forest health andnutrition, forest soil science, pulp and paper processing, and landscape analysis for social,ecological, and economic outcomes.Photo: CFR alumna Connie Harrington (’84),USDA Forest Service scientist, works with theCollege’s Stand Management Cooperativeon tree growth and nutrition studies.

“Donor support for Rare Care is a wonderful example of how peoplecan work together to sustain our unique environments.”RARE CARE DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT PROFESSOR SARAH REICHARD.Sustaining our Northwest worldKeeping our rural land in forestrySupported by a USDA appropriation and by private support, the Rural Technology Initiative(RTI), a collaborative effort of the College and Washington State University CooperativeExtension, empowers the use of technology in rural areas to manage forests for increasedeconomic and environmental values in support of local communities. RTI is committed toproviding usable, cutting-edge technology such as the Landscape Management System,Global Positioning Systems, and Geographic Information Systems to rural forest landowners— technologies that would not be available under conventional outreach structures.The Playfair tree farm in Stevens County, Washington has three creeks running throughthe property. When salmon, steelhead, and bull trout were put on the endangered-specieslist and the new state Forests and Fish regulations were developed, the Playfairs faced adilemma. Along their creeks, timberland carefully nurtured by two generations was now offlimits for harvest. The economic loss would be significant. The Playfairs also worried aboutunintended environmental consequences. Their knowledge of Eastern Washington forests,chronically threatened by fire, insects, and disease, told them that the creek-side woodsneeded a partial “regeneration cut” — now illegal.The Playfair farm is under study by silviculture PhD student Elaine Oneil. The Playfairs hopeto use technical tools provided by RTI to show that an alternate management plan for theircreek land is biologically sound. For many small owners, the real “alternate plan” is sellingout to developers. For Elaine, “That would be the worst environmental outcome. We’re tryingto provide the tools to keep these lands in forestry.”Saving our rare and endangered plantsNative plant species in Washington are being threatened by rapidly-growing humanpopulation and development. Currently, over 450 plant species are rare, threatened,or endangered in the state. The Rare Plant Care and Conservation Program (Rare Care),located at the Center for Urban Horticulture (CUH), is funded almost entirely throughprivate support. Rare Care is dedicated to conserving Washington’s native rare plantsthrough methods including in situ and ex situ conservation, rare plant monitoring,reintroduction, and education. A state-of-the-art seed vault, funded through thegenerosity of the Pendleton and Elisabeth Carey Miller Charitable Foundation,provides for a “Noah’s ark” to protect seeds of rare and endangered plant species.A member of the national Center for Plant Conservation, Rare Care is the first plantconservation program focused exclusively on vascular plants designated as rare inWashington State. Plant material is collected and grown in the greenhouse for eventualreintroduction into native sites. This method is described as inter situ conservation.Program staff, students, and volunteers also monitor rare plant populations locatedthroughout Washington.5Eatonella nivea, endangered plant speciesin Washington State.

Transforming world-class educationin an urban-to-wildland living laboratoryLearning across the gradient — city streets to forest soilsSustaining urban ecosystems6From studies of wildland soils, to monitoring rare plant populations, to restoration of riparianwetlands, to meeting the challenges of maintaining healthy urban environments, students inthe College are exposed to a dynamic array of field experiences. Donor support makes a crucialdifference in the quality of the research, teaching, and learning environment, providing supportfor international travel, scholarships and fellowships, and professorships to attract and retainthe best faculty.The Denman Professorship in Sustainable Resources Sciences, an endowment created in 2004with generous support from Mary Ellen and Richard Denman, will give Professor JohnMarzluff, the first holder of the professorship, an unparalleled opportunity to enhance hiswildlife science and urban ecology research and teaching. This will benefit his students in theCollege’s graduate and undergraduate programs focusing on the sustainability of our naturaland managed landscapes.After an intense four years of planning and construction, the Center for Urban Horticulture’snew Merrill Hall was well on its way to reopening at the end of fiscal year 2004. The newMerrill Hall houses the Elisabeth C. Miller Library, the Otis Douglas Hyde Herbarium, and officesand laboratories for faculty and students, including those involved in the College’s education,research, outreach, and rare plant care programs.The building was designed to incorporate the College’s and the Center’s mission ofsustainability, and will be the greenest building on the Seattle campus and one of the handfulin Seattle built following Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards— considered the nation’s gold standard for sustainable buildings. Merrill Hall, which will likelybe the second UW building to attain LEED certification, boasts features that include a way torecycle storm water, take advantage of natural ventilation and solar panels, and incorporaterecycled and renewable products, such as furniture hand crafted from salvaged urban trees andother certified wood products.The new Merrill Hall will provide enhanced resources for the public and for teachers, students,and learners of all ages in fulfillment of CUH’s mission to “apply horticulture to natural andhuman-altered landscapes to sustain natural resources and the human spirit.” Truly a part ofits urban community, as well as serving as a regional and national horticultural resource, CUHcomplements other College programs that contribute to sustaining our urban ecosystems forfuture generations.Photo left: Forest soils class on one of many field trips.Photo above: Urban ecology faculty and students studying in Berlin with theircounterparts at Humboldt State University.Photo right: Merrill Hall, just prior to formally reopening in January 2005.

7The New Merrill Hall — a Public-Private PartnershipSupport for rebuilding Merrill Hall at the Center for Urban Horticulture came from many sources — the UW, the College, theNorthwest Horticultural Society, the Bullitt Foundation, Patsy Collins, the Peach Foundation, Washington State University,the Seattle Garden Club, and over 500 other individual, corporate, and foundation donors. In-kind gifts included vertical-grainDouglas-fir doors donated by the Office of the Chairman of Simpson Investment Company, bamboo flooring donated byChen Ragen, LLC, and office furniture donated by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP. Book collections to replace volumes lost in thefire or to enhance the Miller Library’s collection came from the Arboretum Foundation, the Seattle Public Library, the BellevueBotanical Garden, St. Martin’s College, and individual donors Phyllis and John Chambers, Emelie Cherry, Robert andPhoebe Day, Arthur Kruckeberg, Steve Lynn, and Ed Poquette. We are truly grateful for this tremendous outpouring of support.

Donor AcknowledgementGenerous Supporters July 1, 2003 – June 30, 2004The nearly $2 million raised during fiscal year 2004 helped us to meet our critical challenges — making it possible for us to attract and keep anoutstanding and diverse faculty with opportunities for professional growth and well-prepared and motivated students with ample opportunities forenhanced learning, and to provide all of our teachers, researchers, and learners with state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure. We are grateful toeach of you who share our commitment to discovery and exploration in a rapidly changing world.8

Jim Bethel, who teaches civil engineering at Purdue University, is the son of theCollege’s late dean, James Bethel, Sr. The memorial endowment honors the strong research legacy instilledand nurtured by Dean Bethel and, through its unrestricted nature, wisely allows for flexibility and futurechange. The gift joins other generous gifts made by the Bethel family, including the Bethel ScholarshipFund and the Bethel Endowment for Streamside Studies.

Douglas-Fir Sinuosity ResearchHave you ever seen a tree leader that looked like a corkscrew? Such growth is known as sinuosity, which is defined as thebending of a plant between any two whorls. Sinuous stems have a large amount of reaction wood, which is high in lignin and lowin cellulose. Severe reaction wood tends to warp sawn lumber and reduce pulp and paper value. One theory of why sinuosityoccurs is that calcium availability is low. Calcium is a nutrient essential for strong cell walls, and if adequate calcium is notavailable, then bending could occur. Sinuosity occurs in Douglas-fir stands along the coast of Washington and Oregon, and iswidespread in some Weyerhaeuser and other timber company tree farms. Currently, Weyerhaeuser Company is supportinggraduate research through private support for the College to determine if inadequate calcium is a cause of sinuosity inDouglas-fir. Both greenhouse and field experiments are underway to assess the effects of low available calcium and calciumadditions to young, rapidly growing Douglas-fir.10Robert and Deborah EdstromSherrill and Andrew ElliottMichael and Deborah FeederCharles and Rose FinkelKevin FischerElizabeth and CharlesFitzgeraldWilliam and Verna FrancisJames FridleyWilliam and Patricia FullerSteven and Margaret GarberPaul Garner and Clair HectorCynthia GilbertD.

Potential users include resource and environmental agencies; energy, forest,agriculture, and real estate interests; and land conservancies, environmental groups, tribes, and NGOs. The core functions of theForum include serving as a centralized information repository, enhancing collaborative research aimed at long-term solutions,and providing space for educational projects and programs — all furthering the goal of decision making about complex andoften contentious issues in a neutral and science-rich setting. Donor support will be key in the development and implementationof Forum programs and will include both public and private agencies, foundations, and natural resource organizations.

Byron and Alice Lockwood Endowed FellowshipTrustees of the Lockwood Foundation, recognizing Byron and Alice Lockwood’s lifelong interest and livelihood fromforestry, felt it fitting to support graduate students at the College. The Lockwoods arrived in Seattle in 1911, and ByronLockwood worked first for the Stetson and Post Lumber Company and then for the Balcomb Lumber Company, wherehe was foreman of the Sumas, Washington lumber camp. He then developed a retail lumberyard, whose biggest salewas to the UW for the framing of the stadium. On their recreational property in Bothell, the Lockwoods developed an88-acre duck pond which was sold to the Weyerhaeuser Company for an industrial complex, the source of the greatestasset in establishing the Foundation. Each year, the College recruits the best and most promising graduate studentsusing funding from the Lockwood Fellowship. Deborah Brown (photo at right), one of twelve 2004 Lockwood Fellows, is amaster’s student in the environmental horticulture and urban forestry program as well as the UW’s campus arborist.12Shannon Greene and WilliamFisherStephen GreenwayPhil and Barbara GreggGeorge GrimesDee and Don GrossRobin HaalandNancy HaigwoodJuliet and Dimitri HaloulosPamela and Jonathon HarlowDavid Hartmann and CynthiaHartmanGary and Lynne HartshornRonica and Jeff HathawayAlbert and Sandy HedinCharles and MarleneHeimbignerRose and Robert HelmerFrederick Herber and JoyleeVaughn-HerberMark Herkert and BethBisigmanoSuzanne and Aaron HeroldDaniel HickeyDave HippOlive HitchcockJean HobartMichael and Jana HobbsMary HoffRichard HopkinsRoberta HopkinsStephen and Gail HopleyWilliam and Helen HoughNatalie HoughtalingCarol and Theodore HoukKay and Stanley HumannPhilip Hurvitz andMargaret SweeneyVito and Karen IacobazziJack IrbyDavid and Elva JaySara JensenJoan JevnikarRay JohnsonDoris JohnstonKatherine JohnstonJeffrey and Diane JonesNicholas and Audra JonesDonald and Judith JordanKathleen and Peter KalapacaKeith KaufmanWesley and Barbara KellieThomas KellyMary and Philip KempDorothea KewleyJames and Suzanne KingMichael KingSandra KirchnerWilliam KittoRichard KleinWilliam KleindlFranklin and Linda KnightHarold and Lorna KnightJosef KolarGregory and Deanna KonkelGeorge and Carla KritsonisArild and Ruby KrystadAnne KuntzLauren and Gaylle LaaksoCharles and Jan LaMayHarriet LangloisLaura and Jay LaughlinLarrie LavoyDonald LeePeggy and Matthew LeonardAnn LeVasseurVirginia and Sidney LevyFrank and Geraldine LewisCaroline and John LofgrenJohn and Patricia LoperRosella and Daniel LyonAnne MacArthurWilliam and MayumiMacDonaldDarcy MacPhersonAndrew MagnusonArthur and Joyce MahlumDave MaltosMarshall and Joan MarleyMargaret MarshallWilliam and Kristina MartiDavid and Barbara MartinRobert Martin and Betsy SeidelEve and Jean-Paul MaugerRichard and Wilda McAninchElizabeth McCallHarry and CharlotteMcCormackPatrick and Joann McCraryPaul McFarland and LaurieBergvallDarcy and Joel McNamaraJames Meador and SusanPicquelleCalvin and Lynne MeierJanet MillardJoshua MillspaughBryon MonohonCandace MontoyaJohn and Sally MorbeckDonald and Loral MorganJeri Morgan-ReinerWilliam and Margaret MoriNicolas MorinJohn and Michelle MorrellCiscoe MorrisMegan Moynihan and TimothyMcDonaldDavid and Marlene MungerLouise MunsonLinda MycekPaul and Daphne MyhreJustine and Charles NagelSusan NeillThy and Tien NguyenElizabeth NicholKathy and Charles O’BriantPatricia and Edward O’BrienRalph and Katherine OldroydKimberly OlmsteadAnnette Olson and CharlesHalpernDiana OlsonLloyd and Lucile OlsonRichard and Barbara OlsonKathleen O’Neill and DavidLaskinRoger and Jamie OttmarJames OverbyLisa PagelerThomas PalmCarol PalmerDuane and Patricia ParteePaul and Naomi PascalH.

Ridgeway, who passed away onDecember 26, 2004, will be greatly missed by his family and friends, includingmany in the College. During his lifetime, he cruised timber, served as a ForestService lookout, drove a Seattle Transit bus, and was a B-24 navigator in theChina-Burma-India theater before spending 32-plus years with the State ofWashington Division of Forestry and the Department of Natural Resources.He was a great friend of the College, planning his class’s 60th reunion atPack Forest and serving on the College of Forest Resources AlumniAssociation Board. Sixty years after his graduation from the UW, Ridgewaystill remembered how tough it was for him to find the funds to pay for hiscollege education. In 1998 he contributed over $220,000 to establish theJames Ridgeway Endowed Scholarship, as well as a charitable gift annuity thatculminated in a major gift to the College in 2004. These gifts will ultimatelyresult in an endowed Ridgeway Professor to teach our Ridgeway Scholarshiprecipients — a wonderful tribute to a generous alumnus and friend.

Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation and the Lennart Lundberg Endowed ScholarshipThe Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation (WPPF), an organization of member companies, alumni, and friends continues its strongsupport for the College’s Paper Science and Engineering (PSE) program. The WPPF represents an investment in the future throughstudents and technology and is committed to bringing highly qualified graduates into the paper and allied industries. Generousdonations over the years have provided an endowed fund value for student scholarships of over $2.1 million, with a growth goal of $1.3million to fully fund program scholarships.
