At least 57 forest research stations across the nation are set to close as part of a “restructuring” of the U.S. Forest Service. But Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, in the White Mountains, will not be among them, Gov. Kelly Ayotte and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced on Monday.

Another Forest Service research station in New Hampshire, Bartlett Experimental Forest, is set to close as part of the restructuring, but Ayotte’s office said in a statement Monday morning that the United States Department of Agriculture had committed to reevaluating those plans.
