context_page_description: Crossett Experimental Forest is an experimental forest operated by the Southern Research Station of the United States Forest Service in Ashley County, Arkansas. It is managed out of the SRS office in Monticello, Arkansas, with onsite facilities about 6.8 miles south of Crossett, Arkansas off Arkansas Highway 133.
context_section_description: The forest contains 1,680 acres (680 ha) that were given to the U.S. Forest Service by the Crossett Lumber Company (later merged into Georgia-Pacific) in 1934.  The tract is used for research into forestry management practices principally involving Pinus taeda and P. echinata.  It includes one area, the 80-acre (32 ha) Reynolds Natural Area that has received little human intervention since the forest was established.  The remainder of the land is managed according to a variety of practices seeking to maximize timber yields.
