Oregon Forest Resources Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) is an educational organization dedicated to forestry issues, including education and training for schools, forest land owners, and other interested parties. They also produce research on current forestry issues and events.[1] OFRI was created by the Oregon State Legislature in 1991 and is funded by a dedicated harvest tax on forest products producers.[1]

The OFRI also maintains the Rediscovery Forest, a forested area used for educational purposes and to demonstrate diverse Oregon wildlife habitat and ecologies.[2] Rediscovery Forest is located in the Oregon Garden, in Silverton, Oregon.
