The Penobscot Experimental Forest (PEF) is located in the towns of Bradley and Eddington in east-central Maine, about 10 miles north of the city of Bangor. This approximately 3,900-acre experimental forest was established in 1950 as a site for long-term U.S. Forest Service research. Though there are 22 experimental forests in the Northern Research Station and 80 nationwide, the PEF is the only one in the transitional zone between the eastern broadleaf and boreal forests known as the Acadian Region. The PEF thus serves as an important and unique source of information about the ecology and silviculture of mixed-species northern conifers.
