The Appalachian Hardwood Center (AHC) at West Virginia University is a jointly supported center of the WVU Extension Service and the WVU Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Design. The center was established in 1987 by the West Virginia Legislature to provide technical and research support for the state's growing wood products industry. The AHC is a center of excellence for outreach, extension and technology transfer, professional development, and applied research. The AHC serves sustainable natural resource-based businesses and communities as well as private forest landowners and natural resource professionals in the Appalachian forest region. http://ahc.wvu.edu/
