Tillamook Forest Center hosts art exhibit, programs
TILLAMOOK — Fall rains bring new life to
the forest, and it is a perfect time to visit the
Tillamook Forest Center (45500 Wilson River
Highway, Tillamook). A new art exhibit and a
slew of upcoming programs will provide op-
portunities to enjoy the best of the season.
Check out “Stories from the Forest,” a col-
lection of encaustic paintings by Marge Hayes,
on display through Sunday, Nov. 26.
Show your love for the forest and volunteer
at the Wilson River Cleanup on Saturday, Sept.
23.
Enjoy all the rain promises at the Mysterious
Mushrooms program led by state Park Ranger
Dane Osis on Sunday, Oct. 15, and attend a nat-
uralist-led Rainforest Walk on Saturday, Nov. 4.
Come back at the end of November for two
annual favorites: the Chinook Salmon Release
and Holiday Wreath Making.
Registration is required, and space is limited
for some programs. For more information, visit
