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.
