The Corvallis Forest welcomes access for projects that align with the guiding principles and access policy of the Corvallis Forest Stewardship Plan. The watershed's primary function is to provide drinking water for the City of Corvallis. To this end, the watershed is managed to enhance ecosystem functions that ultimately supports clean drinking water. Within this context, there are many opportunities for education and outreach about source water, observational studies and limited potential for collaboration for research in the context of a managed forest.
To get a comprehensive understanding about the Planning Process for activities in Corvallis Forest, please read the Corvallis Forest Stewardship Plan (CFSP) and associated documents.
The City does a variety of monitoring in Corvallis Forest. Please see the Corvallis Forest Stewardship Plan for more details on why the City monitors, and what is monitored. You can also refer to the Forest Activity Report tab for things the City reports on regularly, including the Forest Activity Reports.
The City and its contractors (Including Trout Mountain Forestry and Institute for Applied Ecology(IAE)) spray invasive and non-native plants in the Corvallis Forest annually. IAE sprays as part of a long term meadow restoration at Old Peak Meadow (Click here to learn more about that project). Weed management is reported in the annual Forest Activity Report.
