All aspects of the Tillamook Forest Center are unique. The location, staff, facilities and theme. The messages of restoration, sustainability, synergism and conservation are presented in an educational experience that reaches every age group.

And like always please go by the leave no trace policy and leave it better than...

He used the PAY phone at this location trying to get help until he was out of change....they refused to let him use their perfectly functioning regular phone to call for assistance. They also have internet, and refused to allow him to access the wifi to continue trying to figure out how he could get home.

I'm appalled. I can't fathom what sort of human being would...
