Our Vision...

Our vision is to offer a variety of enjoyable opportunities for a diverse set of forest visitors to participate in close-to-home recreation and learning activities in a forested environment; a place where residents feel comfortable engaging in outdoor activities with their neighbors and friends, and come away learning something new about forests.

In order to achieve this, the Recreation and Engagement Program focuses on integrating the OSU Research Forests into the fabric of the local community, offering a diversity of high quality, safe, and sustainable recreation opportunities, and managing recreation to be consistent with OSU College of Forestry goals.
