In the 20+ years of its existence, the Crossett Story has been enjoyed by thousands. This slide show was developed to elaborate on the long history of logging, field forestry, and research centered around the USDA Forest Service’s Crossett Experimental Forest (CEF) in southeastern Arkansas. However, science and technology have advanced considerably over the last couple decades, making it inevitable that the Crossett Story receive updating. The original Crossett Story was developed in 1980 using some of the best technology available to describe what had been cutting-edge forestry, involving a montage of historical photographs, recent images, and a narrative that includes commentary from Russ Reynolds, the first researcher at the CEF. Using desktop computers, scanners, digital audio and video editing software, and an expanded selection of photographs and research, we have updated the Crossett Story to a series of digital outputs on various media formats. Thus, we now have CD, DVD, and internet-based mechanisms for delivering a modernized tale of forestry in the Crossett area. This revision placed more emphasis on research efforts in the CEF, including the cooperative efforts between regional universities and industrial landowners. Furthermore, greater emphasis was also given to the educational and extension role of the CEF. We believe that this was an inexpensive yet valuable improvement with considerable capacity for future upgrades, and is well within the capabilities of most organizations with similar interfaces.
