We very much thank the organizers of the field trips, Dick Edwards on the AR and Jeff Underhill on the Pike, and all of their staff members who contributed their time and expertise on the various projects. Both field trips were very informative for understanding treatment histories and objectives.

The first stop on the AR, Red Feather 1 Unit 16 (just off the Lady Moon trailhead).
