DEAN’S MESSAGE
I invite you to discover how private support transforms our faculty and student
experiences and helps us reach out to our increasingly global community.
Funding scholarships and fellowships, professorships, travel, outreach and public
education, technology transfer, and the debate and exchange of ideas, private
support is a true measure of our successful partnership with you, our generous
supporters. We are helping to transform lives and make a positive impact on
our region and beyond.
This report gives just a few examples of the way in which we do this. I hope
that you will be inspired by the accomplishments that we achieved in 2005
with your help. You also made it possible for us to award financial support to
over 50 students and to help fund research projects as diverse as saving rare
native plants and discovering alternative sources of pulp fiber.
The three-way partnership of state funding, sponsored research, and private
support helped us achieve many successes in addition to the stories in this
report, including:
• Programs in forest management, forest technology transfer, and the study
of forested ecosystems carried out by the Precision Forestry Cooperative (PFC),
the Rural Technology Initiative, the Stand Management Cooperative (SMC),
the Olympic Natural Resources Center, and the Wind River Canopy Crane
Research Facility.
• A healthy sponsored research program, with total expenditures of $9,102,303
in 2005.
• A successful faculty search for PFC Director, resulting in the appointment of
Dr. David Briggs, who also serves as the Director of the SMC. The Precision
Forestry position receives additional funding from the Corkery Family
Endowed Chair.
• Approval to begin searches for nine faculty positions in fields including
bioresource science, natural resource economics, landscape plant science,
natural resource restoration and management, quantitative landscape science,
remote sensing and biospatial analysis, natural resource informatics, director of
the Center for Sustainable Forestry, and natural products chemistry. By the time
you receive this report, five of these positions will have been filled.
• Enhancing links with our UW campus partners, including international student
exchange through the UW Worldwide Initiative,
• Updated strategic plans and organizational structures for The Water Center
(formerly the Center for Water and Watershed Studies) and the University
of Washington Botanic Gardens (which now comprises the Center for Urban
Horticulture, the Washington Park Arboretum, and the Union Bay Natural Area
under one umbrella).
We are proud to be a successful participant in Campaign UW: Creating Futures.
The campaign’s underlying message affirms, “A great university makes a difference
in the quality of life for those it serves…it changes the lives of people across
the street, across the state, and across the world.” Our over-arching goal within
Campaign UW is to provide funding for transformational change within our
College and out to those we teach and serve.
How are we doing in meeting our campaign goals? I’m pleased to report that,
thanks to you, we are more than 85 percent of the way toward meeting our $17.7
million goal by 2008.
Thank you!

PACK FOREST, ALONG THE “TRAIL OF THE GIANTS”
In 1926, conservationist and East Coast lumberman
Charles Lathrop Pack bequeathed a cash gift to the
College of Forest Resources, enabling the purchase of an
initial 334 acres of forestland to be used for research and
demonstration. Today, Charles L. Pack Experimental Forest
encompasses 4,300 acres of working forestland and is
the home of the College’s Center for Sustainable Forestry.
Two endowed funds help support the forest, the Charles
Lathrop Pack Endowed Prize and the David B. Thorud
Endowed Fund for Pack Forest.
CULTURE
Transforming lives through the legacy of endowments
2
Since 1907, when the College of Forest Resources
was first established as the School of Forestry at
the University of Washington, alumni and friends
have sustained the College’s mission and vision by
creating endowed funds for scholarships, fellowships,
professorships, and discretionary use.
The College’s first endowment, the Charles Lathrop
Pack Endowed Prize, was created in 1924. The prize
awards $500 annually to the student presenting the
best essay, composition, or newspaper article on any
forestry issue addressed to a nontechnical audience.
In fiscal year 2005, four new endowments were
invested or initiated as planned gifts. The B.
Bruce Bare General Endowment will provide
discretionary support for the College, the Joseph
Kolar Endowed Fund for Graduate Student
Support, established in memory of alumnus Joseph
Kolar (’89), will support graduate students engaged
in the study of international trade in forest products,
and the Thomas Swen Friberg Endowed Fund
for Student Support, established by alumnus Tom
Friberg (’70, ’76), will support undergraduate and
graduate students in the College’s Paper Science and
Engineering Program. Taking advantage of the UW’s
program to encourage the establishment of faculty
and staff funded endowments, the John A. Wott
Fellowship in Plant Collection and Curatorship
was initiated by Professor John Wott to support plant
collection and curatorial programs at the College’s
University of Washington Botanic Gardens.
Each new endowment is an investment in our
current programs and a sustaining source of our
future excellence. Today, the College is fortunate
to have the invaluable resource of 62 donor-funded
endowments, supporting its teaching, research,
and outreach programs.

Transforming lives through scholarship and research
Over 50 students received donor-supported
scholarship and fellowship awards during Academic
Year 2004-2005. This truly remarkable support is
important in many ways.
Tuition scholarships often make the crucial difference
in the ability of many students to attend college at all.
Through the Lockwood Endowed Fellowship
and program-specific funds like the Knoblauch
Endowed Fellowship (wildlife science) and the
Gessel Research and Scholarship Endowment (soil
science), the College can recruit the most promising
graduate students from around the world.
Many of the College’s scholarships and fellowships
are endowed gift funds that will provide income in
perpetuity sustaining scholarship and research into
the future!
Pacific Northwest have traditionally made baskets,
hats, and other objects using beargrass stems, leaves,
and roots, and it is currently a fundamental basketry
material of tribes on the Olympic Peninsula. Local
tribes report that it is becoming difficult to find in
areas where it was historically gathered. For Shebitz,
this illustrates the importance of incorporating
cultural land management practices in the restoration
of both an ecosystem and its resources, and the
project has involved substantial input from Quinault
tribal members. Restoring beargrass savannas to
the Olympic Peninsula has significant ecological and
cultural implications; it will not only reintroduce a
species-rich ecosystem lost to succession, but will also
provide local tribes with culturally significant plants
that have become difficult to obtain.
Alexandria Teague, undergraduate in Environmental
Science and Resource Management (ESRM), received
support from the James and Flora Woods Endowed
Scholarship. Teague is currently the president of Xi
Sigma Pi, a forestry honor society founded at the
UW in 1908 to secure and maintain a high standard
of scholarship in forestry education, to work for
the improvement of the forestry profession, and
to promote a fraternal spirit among those engaged
in activities related to the forest. Teague is interested
in pursuing graduate work that promotes sustainable
environmental management in countries like Brazil,
where she was a high school exchange student.
Daniela Shebitz, graduate student in restoration
ecology, received support from the James D. Roberts
Forest Resources Endowment. Shebitz is working to
restore beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) and its historic
habitat on the lowlands of the Olympic Peninsula by
returning anthropogenic (caused by humans) burning
to former beargrass savannas. Native tribes in the
Alexandria Teague (front, left) with four generations (the late Emeritus
Professor Grante Sharpe (’51,’56), Professor Rob Harrison, Associate Professor
Darlene Zabowski (’81,’88) and alum Phil Hurvitz (’94) at the CFRAA 2005
Banquet; Daniela Shebitz with beargrass research plots in Olympic National
Forest. Sergio Camacho, graduate student in forest entomology, researching
West Nile Virus mosquitos in Puget Sound stormwater systems, received
support from the UW Graduate School’s Graduate Opportunity and Minorities
Achievement program—another important funding resource.
ECONOMY
Transforming lives through knowledge transfer
The University of Washington Botanic Gardens
(UWBG) is an international hub for plant science,
information, teaching, and stewardship that
promotes an educated, inspired, and engaged society
dedicated to sustainable ecosystem management.
UWBG educational programs serve nearly 12,000
learners annually, from grade school field trips in the
Washington Park Arboretum to adult professional and
public education classes.
The Precision Forestry Cooperative, the Stand
Management Cooperative, and the Rural Technology
Initiative conduct research and provide technology
transfer to forest managers throughout the region.
In March 2005 they collaboratively sponsored an
international symposium, “Red Alder: A State of
Knowledge,” which brought together regional
experts to discuss the transformation of alder from
a “weed” species to one of the most valuable
regional species, current shortages in the supply of
alder, and growing recognition of the important role
of alder in forested ecosystems.
A 2005 publication from the Center for International
Trade in Forest Products (CINTRAFOR), “Innovative
Fence Designs from Small Diameter Timber: Adding
Value through Design,” presents an overview of the
role of fire in maintaining healthy forests and offers
illustrations of fence designs using small-diameter
timber that can be derived from the thinning of
overly dense forests. For each design there is fullpage color illustration of how the fence might look
in a landscape as well as a full-page schematic
diagram of the fence and its component parts.
Says CINTRAFOR Director, Professor Ivan Eastin,
“By demonstrating that innovative design can be
used to increase the economic value of low-value
industrial materials and consumer products, we
hope the book provides an economic incentive
for thinning unhealthy forests, resulting in forests
more resistant to insect attack and devastating
forest fires. Providing unique and innovative fence
designs incorporating small-diameter timber can
also provide a basis for economic development in
rural timber-dependent communities.”

David R.M. Scott Fund for Faculty Support
David Robert Main Scott was a faculty member of the
College of Forest Resources from 1955 to 1988 and
remained an academic influence until his death in
December 2002. His areas of expertise were silviculture
and forest ecology and his legacy is his students—
hundreds of professionals and academics who use
and pass on his teachings, just as he expected them
to do. Many graduate and undergraduate students
benefited from his interest in them as individuals and
his compassion for them as young students struggling
to define interests and careers. All who encountered
him remember his genuine heart, his generous family,
and his unforgettable lecture style. Today, his students
live all over the world as foresters, teachers, consultants,
members of private companies and non-governmental
organizations, and research scientists—all are tributes to
the far-reaching influence he had on their lives. Honoring
his lifelong work, the David R.M. Scott Fund for Faculty
Support, will be a permanently endowed professorship
supporting faculty with expertise in sustainable resource
management and science, including study, teaching, and
research in silviculture and forest ecology.

Denman Professorship in Sustainable Resource Sciences
10
Professor John Marzluff, Professor of Wildlife Science and
director of the Urban Ecology interdisciplinary graduate
program, was awarded the Denman Professorship in
Sustainable Resource Sciences in 2005. The endowed
professorship, a gift from W. Richard and Mary Ellen
Denman, will enhance the College’s ability to attract
and retain distinguished faculty involved in the research
and teaching of sustainable resource sciences. Along
with teaching wildlife science and urban ecology,
Marzluff’s current research includes long-term studies of
the effects of urbanization on songbirds in the Seattle
area, responses of nest predators and songbirds to
settlement, recreation, and forest fragmentation on the
Olympic Peninsula, and endangered species conservation.
As Denman Professor of Sustainable Resource Sciences,
he will continue studying how we can sustain our
wildlife resources in an increasingly urban world and the
connections between the ecological, social, and economic
components of sustainability. Along with collleagues in
the Urban Ecology Program, he has been working on
demonstrating how sustainable urban development is tied
to ecological sustainability. The Denman Professorship will
allow Marzluff to gather empirical data and to expand

The Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation (WPPF)
The Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation (WPPF),
founded in 1968, is an organization of member
companies, alumni, and friends supporting the College’s
Paper Science and Engineering (PSE) program. Providing
scholarship support to attract excellent students, it
represents an investment in the future through students
and technology. Of the more than 400 students who
have graduated with PSE degrees, over 350 have entered
rewarding careers in the paper and allied industries.
In 2005, alumnus Tom Friberg (‘70,’76) established
through the WPPF the Thomas Swen Friberg Endowed
Fund for Student Support, adding to the impressive
list of WPPF-provided scholarships. The partnership
between the College and the WPPF was enhanced in
2001 through a Dean’s “1-to-2” matching program
for all new donations to the WPPF for student support.
By the end of 2005, nearly $41,000 of these matching
funds were used.

Through projects as diverse as studying new sources for fiber that include using wheat straw, which usually must
be burned after wheat is harvested, to make containers for agricultural produce, to the study of plants and their
uses in urban environments, to researching new responses to the challenge of devastating forest fires in overly
dense eastern Washington forests, the College, with your help, is exploring diverse and innovative ways to sustain
our Northwest world. Your support helped send graduate students to meetings and conferences on fire ecology
and management, helped fund programs and demonstration gardens at the UW Botanic Gardens, and supported
student scholarships in the Paper Science and Engineering undergraduate program.
