We appreciate the effort of each of our authors and readers in making Engineering Field Notes (EFN) 2002 a valuable resource. Authors highlighted Infra’s giant strides in meeting Government mandates for U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service fiscal accountability, satellite remotesensing contributions to the 2002 Winter Olympics, repairs to the ravages of the McClain Creek Landslide, benefits of the Public Forest Service Roads concept, and WO Engineering’s role in responding to the Burned Area
Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) program. Once again, authors shared their knowledge, experience, and insight as USDA Forest Service engineers at all levels and from all regions.
Please take this opportunity to select the top three articles for 2002.
Remember, this is a one-person, one-vote system. Your vote counts. Consider, for example, which article you found the most informative, beneficial, and interesting; which article helped your unit save money; and which article helped you develop more effective ways of accomplishing your work.
Just complete the nomination form by rating the articles from 1 (best) to 3
(third best). Note whether you believe an article has helped or will help the
USDA Forest Service save money or resources. To send the form, e-mail your first, second, and third article selections to Sandy Grimm at
SandraGrimm/WO/USDA@FSNOTES or sgrimm@fs.fed.us. Please vote by
Friday, August 29, 2003.
Also be sure to share some of your engineering expertise with the EFN audience. Project reports, papers prepared for professional meetings, and handouts created to train field units are all potential EFN articles.
