Corvallis Forest Tour Set for June 14, 2023

May 25, 2023 - On June 14, 2023, the community is invited for an opportunity that only comes once a year: a guided tour of the Corvallis Forest on the lower slopes of Marys Peak. 

The tour offers a fantastic opportunity to look at the vast wooded mountain slopes that capture water that eventually ends up in the City's municipal water system. The Corvallis Forest is located nine miles southwest of Corvallis, on the east side of Marys Peak, adjacent to the Siuslaw National Forest.

The buses for the tour will start loading at 4:30 pm. The tour will depart at 5:00 pm on June 14 from Corvallis City Hall and is expected to last about three hours, including travel time. The City will provide round-trip transportation. The tour is free, but space is limited, and advance registration is required. Call the Corvallis Public Works Department at 541-766-6916 or email publicworks@corvallisoregon.gov to register.

The tour will visit several different sites in the forest, showcasing various aspects of the City's management activities. The tour will take place rain or shine and involve walking on gravel roads, so participants should dress for the terrain and the weather.
