For 60 years, our work has lived at the intersection of people and forests, connecting communities to the issues, opportunities, and experiences that shape their relationship with the natural world through exhibits, programs, partnerships, and gatherings on our campus and beyond.

Our 5.5-acre campus close to downtown Portland features forest-inspired indoor and scenic outdoor spaces perfect to host your next meeting, wedding, conference, festival or celebration of life.
Our Museum
Located in Portland’s forested Washington Park, our Discovery Museum invites visitors to explore the intersection of society and forests through interactive exhibits and experiences.
Our Programs
Our programs engage today’s most urgent forest and societal challenges through professional gatherings, arts initiatives, and public programs on and off campus, connecting people and forests.
