As you enjoy the OSU Research Forests on this 4^th of July holiday weekend, remember that ALL types of fireworks are prohibited in OSU Research Forests. Alcohol is also prohibited in the Research Forests. 

Fire season is right around the corner. Please help us keep our forests and communities safe and practice good stewardship by not smoking, using fireworks, or having open flames when visiting the OSU Research Forests this summer. Thank you for helping us provide a forest experience that is safe and enjoyable for everyone.

If you see a fire while in the forest, CALL 911 and include the location and road number.  We rely on visitors like you to be our eyes and ears and help us identify and address problems immediately.
