M e s s ag e from the dean
In mid-September, as the “College of Forest Resources bus tour” made
its way back to Seattle on the ferry across Puget Sound, I thought
about the opportunities the tour provided, not only to acquaint
our new faculty with College field sites, but also to demonstrate
and reaffirm our engagement, commitment to excellence, and
transformative power in communities throughout Washington.
The tour introduced our new faculty Drs. Jonathan Bakker, Renata
Bura, Sharon Doty, Greg Ettl, Dean Glawe, Soo-Hyung Kim, Joshua
Lawler, Monika Moskal, and Christian Torgersen — all of whom
you’ve met in the CFR News — to the scope of College contributions
to natural resources challenges affecting the lives and livelihoods of
our region’s residents. The tour began at the UW Botanic Gardens
(UWBG), and throughout the following three days visited the Center
for Sustainable Forestry (CSF) at Pack Forest, near Eatonville; the
Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility, near Carson; the NORPAC
newsprint mill in Longview; and the Olympic Natural Resources Center
(ONRC), on the Olympic Peninsula near Forks.
Along the way we stopped in Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic
Monument, drove along Willapa Bay, visited a small forest
landowner’s Sitka spruce plantation, and viewed the Elwha Dam.
At all of these sites, College researchers are adding to the store of
knowledge and discovery about our natural resources, social and
cultural environments, and economic opportunities.
The examples are many:
UWBG, research and outreach in environmental horticulture,
restoration ecology, and invasive and rare plants create a network
of teaching and learning that includes collaboration across the
three UW campuses, as well as with the community volunteers who
help maintain UWBG’s demonstration gardens and Washington
Park Arboretum collections, and the public who take classes in
horticulture and conservation.

Denman Chair Awarded to Rick Gustafson
The College’s newest endowed chair, the Denman Chair in Bioresource Science and Engineering,
is a 2006 gift from long-time supporters Mary Ellen and W. Richard Denman. Funded at $1 million,
the endowment also received a $500,000 match from the UW’s Founders Matching Initiative. The
Denman Chair provides the foundation for the College to develop research and education programs
related to sustainable bio-based products and sources of energy that better serve society. For the
Denmans, contributing to the leadership that the UW and the College provide in solving resource
challenges for future generations is a powerful motivation for support.
The chair was recently awarded to Professor Rick Gustafson, Professor of Paper Science and
Engineering. Says Gustafson, “We read daily about the need to develop new processes and systems
to meet the demand for sustainable energy and products. Bio-based energy and products can meet
much of this demand, but research is needed to make these visions a reality. We also need to train
the next generation of scientists and engineers who will develop and operate these processes.
Our College is poised to lead the development, with other collaborators (within the UW and with
external partners), of a new center of excellence in bioresource sciences and technology. The
Denman Chair will provide the base funding to establish this center.”
This new thrust will include education, research, and technology transfer focusing on the use of
biomass as a source of energy, fuel, and new chemicals that will be produced from bio-refineries.
The center will also focus on integrating the production of traditional fiber and solid wood products
with these new processes. For both Gustafson and the Denmans, the benefit to our society will be
the capability to reduce oil dependency and to sequester greenhouse gases over the entire life
cycle of manufactured products.
The Denman Chair joins other gift funds and endowments established by the Denmans in support
of the College, including the Denman Professorship in Pulp and Paper Science, the Denman
Professorship in Sustainable Resource Sciences, and the Denman Endowment for Student
Excellence in Forest Resources.

Raven Research on the Olympic Peninsula
William Webb, PhD student in wildlife science and urban ecology, has been
researching ravens on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula since 2001. Working with
advisor Professor John Marzluff, his research examines raven predatory behavior,
population dynamics, movement behavior, relative abundance, and systematics.
The Common Raven (Corvus corax) is the world’s largest songbird, and is
distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. In Western Washington, ravens
weigh about 2.5 lbs. with a wingspan of around 2.5 feet. Throughout North
America, this uniformly black bird is found in a wide variety of landscapes
ranging from the frigid Arctic to the scorching deserts of the Southwest. Ravens
adapt to a wide range of ecological conditions, and they are often the most
abundant species recorded in breeding bird surveys conducted north of the
Arctic Circle and in the desert Southwest. Ravens are omnivorous, consuming
a variety of foods, and using many different methods to obtain food. They often
scavenge at animal carcasses, but they also hunt prey, as well as feeding on fruit
and grains. Ravens are believed to be one of the most intelligent Vertebrate
species, and they use their intelligence to exploit changing resources including
food, water, and nesting substrates. They sometimes follow the movements of
other animals such as wolves in the hope of obtaining food. However, the species
that ravens have benefited from the most is humans.
productivity into a model of raven population dynamics that will show how the
raven population responds to environmental variability. I also conduct surveys
of the abundance of ravens and other corvids across a range of environments
to increase understanding of the factors influencing their abundance. The one
aspect of my project most related to basic science investigates the rate of gene
flow between disparate genetic groups of ravens. In Western North America there
are two genetic clades of ravens whose mitochondrial DNA are 4.5% different, a
level that distinguishes many well recognized avian species. By studying mating
patterns between the two clades, I hope to discover if the two clades remain
genetically separate.”
For more raven information, see Webb’s web page at http://students.washington.
edu/webb/student_webpage.htm.
Says Webb, “Raven numbers on the Peninsula have increased steadily during
the past 35 years while other forest nesting birds have declined during the
same period. Unlike many species, ravens benefit greatly from environmental
changes caused by human activities such as clearing land, building roads, and
access to refuse. This increased raven abundance represents a conservation
concern, as predation by ravens puts additional stress on populations of species
already negatively impacted by human activities. In many areas of Western
North America, predation by ravens is thought to negatively impact a number of
species, including the Desert Tortoise, Least Tern, Sandhill Crane, Sage Grouse,
and Marbled Murrelet.”
“ Because ravens are wide-ranging, I trap (sometimes using Cheetos as bait!)
and radio track them to gain a greater understanding of their movements. Many
ravens are sedentary while others move great distances — some radio-tagged
ravens have been found as far away as 100 kilometers from the capture location.
I combine estimates of survival from radio tracking with data from following nest

Planning for Stewardship an Important Part
of Successful Ecological Restoration
Established in 1999, UW-REN is a three-campus program with strong College
of Forest Resources involvement. “Among its offerings is a yearlong series of
courses that gives the UW a chance to connect with surrounding communities
and students a chance for real-world experience working with local parks and
agencies, utilities, non-profits, and private firms,” says Forest Resources Professor
Kern Ewing, a co-author of the Science article and a researcher with the College’s
University of Washington Botanic Gardens (UWBG). Working in teams of four
to six, student projects last year ranged from finding ways to make a rambling
corner lot in a Seattle neighborhood more inviting for birds and neighbors
to improving the West Duwamish Greenbelt’s upland urban forest. Teams are
responsible for analyzing what’s at the site, developing a client proposal, creating
a detailed work plan, and putting in the sweat equity and recruiting volunteers to
make it happen.
UW-REN projects are a collaboration between students and community volunteers.

Restoring degraded ecosystems around Seattle and giving them a fighting
chance to stay healthy can be as much about PR as the right plants. That’s what
students learn through the UW’s Restoration Ecology Network (UW-REN), a
teaching and research program recognized nationally in a recent issue of Science.
Canvassing neighbors, finding and managing volunteers, preparing educational
materials, posting signs, and attending neighborhood meetings can be crucial
to the success of the projects undertaken by teams of students. “Through this
process, we have watched students come to understand that science is necessary,
but not sufficient for successful restoration,” writes lead author Warren Gold,
associate professor at UW Bothell and adjunct faculty in Forest Resources.
“Without stewardship, restored ecosystems will only degrade again, which is
why it’s so good for students to learn how to do community outreach and work
with clients.”
The Duwamish Greenbelt project is a two-acre site, part of the largest remaining
contiguous forest within the Seattle city limits. “The site suffered from a lack
of resources and restoration, with no large-scale forest management over the
years,” says team member Samantha Sprenger, master’s student in forest soils.
“Restoring the site, including the removal of invasive plant species, will provide
enhanced wildlife habitat. Planting native trees and understory will help hold
soil in place, preventing erosion by preserving the quality of natural drainage
systems and enhancing land stability. Community involvement and volunteer
work and the development of a maintenance and monitoring manual will help
insure the site’s continued ecological health.”
“This capstone project engages students in interactive hands-on learning,
revealing the complexity of real-world solutions and creating bonds between the
university and the public,” the co-authors write in Science. Other co-authors are
Forest Resources Professor Tom Hinckley; Associate Professors John Banks (UW
Tacoma) and Martha Groom (UW Bothell); Research Associate Professor David

New Endowed Fellowship
Honors W.G. Reed
The College continued to welcome new faculty
members throughout the summer and fall. In addition
to the new faculty welcomed in the Spring 2006 issue
of this newsletter (Renata Bura, Greg Ettl, Soo-Hyung
Kim, Monika Moskal, and Christian Torgersen), an
additional four faculty have joined the College.
Assistant Professors Jonathan Bakker, natural resource
management and restoration, and Sharon Doty,
bioresource sciences, will join us in autumn. Bakker
was most recently Senior Research Specialist with
Northern Arizona University’s Ecological Restoration
Institute. Doty has had a Research Assistant Professor
appointment with the College since 2003. Joshua
Lawler, currently a David H. Smith Postdoctoral Fellow
in the Zoology Department at Oregon State University,
will join the College in Winter Quarter 2007 in the
quantitative landscape science position. Dean Glawe,
Professor of Plant Pathology, is the College’s newest
shared Washington State University faculty member;
the Memorandum of Understanding between the
UW and WSU appointing Glawe Professor (WOT) at
the College was recently finalized. To welcome its
new faculty, the College organized a series of events
that began with a three-day bus tour of the College’s
research sites in western Washington (see Dean’s
Message on page 1).The tour was followed by an
All-College Retreat on September 25 where the new
faculty had the opportunity to become familiar with a
variety of on-going initiatives. Two remaining faculty
searches are underway during Autumn Quarter to fill
positions in natural resource economics and natural
resource informatics.
The College is pleased to announce the establishment
of the W. G. Reed Endowed Fellowship in Sustainable
Resource Sciences. The fellowship honors William G.
(Bill) Reed, whose grandfather, Sol Simpson, founded
in 1890 what would become Simpson Investment
Company, and is a generous gift from the Simpson
family. In 1933, Reed became the company’s president,
leading it for nearly half a century and instilling his
commitment to integrity, safety, stewardship, and
sustainable management as a legacy for future
generations. Preference will be given to students
interested in natural resource sustainability, with
emphasis on sustainable forestry and forest
enterprises, watershed management, ecosystem
sciences, and natural resource economics and policy.
Holders of the endowed fellowship will advance
the science of global sustainability through a better
understanding of the ecological, economic, and social
issues surrounding stewardship and restoration of
natural and managed environments.

The “Finnish Connection” ­— Lignin Chemistry to Biofuels
In 1961, then College Dean Gordon Marckworth hired a brilliant young wood
chemist, Kyosti Sarkanen, from Finland. “Sarkanen was initially unsure about
his role in a forestry college,” says Paper Science and Engineering Professor
Rick Gustafson, “but went on to become the world’s foremost authority on lignin
chemistry. He established a productive relationship between the UW and forest
products researchers and academics in Finland that continues today.” Not long
after Gustafson arrived at the College in 1986, Sarkanen introduced him to
Jussi Gullichsen, then Professor of Pulping Technology at Helsinki University
of Technology (HUT) and Panu Tikka, current holder of that title. Since then,
Gustafson has traveled to Finland almost every year to conduct research and do
collaborative teaching.
Says Gustafson, “Much of our work together has involved joint research to
improve the pulping process. HUT has an extensive pulping laboratory with
sophisticated and well instrumented reactors. They’ve used these reactors
to conduct in-depth pulping kinetic studies. We took the results of these
experiments and developed a theoretically-based kraft pulping process
simulator now commercially available from Pacific Simulation. The simulator
has been used in industry and academia to optimize operation and to diagnose
problems in commercial digesters throughout the world. Both the College
and HUT use the simulator in undergraduate courses, exchanging course case
studies based on using the simulator in real-world scenarios.”
Recently Gustafson collaborated with HUT on applications of an instrument
developed by his lab to measure single fibers for wood pulp uniformity and
quality. The collaboration included an exchange of graduate students between
HUT and the College — students from HUT traveled here to learn about the
instrument and last month Ming Qiao, PhD student, traveled to Finland. Qiao
says, “I was honored to have an opportunity to work at HUT, installing the Single
Fiber Kappa Analyzer and training researchers to use it.”
Graduate student Ming Qiao demonstrating the Single Fiber Kappa Analyzer at HUT.
Both Gustafson and Qiao were also able to fit in a few tourist experiences. “The most
memorable for me was a canoe trip down a wild river in Lapland far above the Arctic
Circle,” says Gustafson. “The birch forests were beautiful in their autumn colors, and
we sampled cloud berries, experienced a ‘smoke sauna’ followed by cold dip in the
river, and were chased by a wild-eyed dog (never has a canoe been loaded so fast!).”
Adds Qiao, “For me, the most impressive thing was the delicious tuna!”
This October, Gustafson will return to Finland to continue his collaborative
work with HUT. He also plans to continue investigating the potential for work
on biofuels in Scandinavia, both in Sweden (where he has begun developing
connections with biofuel researchers) and in Finland.
