Connecting People to the Wonders of Our State Forests

The State Forests Trust of Oregon is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to helping Oregonians and visitors enjoy and appreciate our state forests. We help fund improved access for fishers, off-road vehicle enthusiasts, hikers, and people just wanting to experience the wonder of Oregon’s beautiful natural heritage (or cool off in a mountain stream on a hot day!)

In addition, the State Forests Trust of Oregon supports programs to deepen Oregonian’s understanding of the many benefits of our forests. We depend on you, and other β€œforest-fans” like you, to make these good things happen.

Founded in 1999, we brought the community together to build the Tillamook Forest Center, where visitors learn about the Tillamook Forest’s first inhabitants, the disastrous wildfires of early last century, as well as the work of the Oregon Department of Forestry to manage our state forests. Following this success – with Community support – we’ve helped to create spaces for learning at the TFC, expand trail systems, study visitor use of recreation areas and help restore areas impacted by the 2020 Labor Day fires.  

We are committed to supporting programs for life-long learning and enhancing everyone's ability to explore and enjoy all kinds of outdoor recreation in Oregon's state forests. We believe these forests should be appreciated, valued, and availableβ€”not just for today but also for future generations.

And that's where you come in – your support is crucial to making this vision come true.
