A science lab in Washington State studies how forests change when the weather gets warmer. Scientists at the lab watch plants and animals in the forest. They learn how to take better care of forests. The lab has helped forest managers for many years.
Workers at this lab help people who manage forests. They give advice about how to keep forests safe and healthy. The government plans to close this lab and 56 other labs like it. This means fewer scientists will be able to study forests and help the environment.
