The Tillamook Forest Center, located in the heart of the Tillamook State Forest on Hwy 6 about one hour from Portland, offers year-round educational and interpretive programs, nature exhibits and field tours. It’s fun, fully accessible and free. Field programs examine the natural and cultural history and the stewardship of the Tillamook State Forest. High school students can explore career options in forestry, including school-towork experiences with Department of Forestry staff. Kits for grades K-4 emphasize the importance of trees, their role in a community and the historical impacts of landmark trees. All programs include pre- and post-activity suggestions and are correlated to state education requirements.
