As hot and dry weather continues, the District Forester has announced that Regulated Use Fire Risk in Western Oregon will be going to EXTREME on Saturday, 9/5/20. 

Please review the Oregon Department of Forestry Public Use Restrictions. Keep these in mind as you use motorized equipment or recreate on any public or private lands.

In ADDITION to the restrictions described by ODF through Public Regulated Use, OSU Research Forests prohibits the following activities on all roads, trails, parking areas and lands, year-round:  

• No smoking or vaping (even in parking areas or parked cars)
• No campfires or party fires
• No fireworks
• No use of spark producing devices (such as chainsaws, mowers, weed eaters and vehicles)

If you see a fire while out on the forest, CALL 911!  We rely on our wonderful visitors to serve as eyes and ears to help us identify and address problems immediately.
