"Connecting communities through sustainable forestry, life sciences, hands on activities, and workforce support."
When you think of the Oregon Forest, what is the first thing you think of?
Forestry often conjures images of bulldozed rainforests or massive clear-cuts, however, Oregon does Forest Management very well. It's a system worth replicating because it is always adapting. We have created an ecological laboratory where Private Land Owners own only 37% of all forested land but account for 76% of all timber production. From protecting species to ecologically sustainable harvesting, each land owner will have a unique goal in mind and Foresters help guide them to their goals.
