4 COLLEGE OF FORESTRY As visitation grows, the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest is creating a shared plan to guide recreation alongside research, education and active forest management. On any given day, the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest may host a mountain biker, a graduate student collecting data, a forest operations intern and a family out for an afternoon walk — sometimes on the same trail system. For many in the Corvallis community, the forest is a favorite destination for exercise, exploration and connection to the outdoors. With more than 200,000 visits annually, the McDonald-Dunn is one of the most heavily used outdoor recreation destinations in the region. But that is only one part of the forest’s story. The McDonald-Dunn serves simultaneously as a living laboratory, an outdoor classroom, a working forest and a recreation destination. Visitors can experience forestry in action while researchers, students and forest managers continue the work of teaching, discovery and stewardship. That overlap is part of what makes the forest unique. It also creates one of its biggest management challenges: How do you intentionally manage visitor use in a forest that was never intended solely for recreation? “Recreation is such an important part of the forest’s identity, but it exists alongside research projects, forest management activities, MANY PATHS, ONE FOREST ecological objectives and operational needs,” said Jenna Baker, recreation manager for the OSU Research Forests. “Balancing the multiple values and uses for the forest requires thoughtful decision-making.” As visitation grows and use patterns change, questions about how the forest can continue to welcome visitors while remaining actively managed have become increasingly important. Those questions prompted the development of a visitor use management plan. Rather than SUHVFULELQJ D ń[HG YLVLRQ IRU WKH IXWXUH WKH document brings together decades of recreation policies, practices and planning into a shared guide for managing recreation within a working research forest.

5 FOCUS - FALL 2026 surveys, focus groups and public review opportunities. The work includes updated recreation goals and policies, assessments of WUDLOV DQG DFFHVV SRLQWV DQG D ńYH WR \HDU trail development strategy. The process has also revealed common ground among forest users. While hikers, runners, mountain bikers and other visitors PD\ H[SHULHQFH WKH IRUHVW GLŃHUHQWO\ PDQ\ share similar priorities — high-quality outdoor experiences, a connected trail system and a healthy, well-managed forest. Ultimately, the plan is about more than trails and policies. It provides a foundation for future decisions about recreation within a forest that serves many purposes. “Forests, managed or not, continually change,” Baker said. “And because of that, so do the recreational opportunities they provide and how we manage them. This plan brings together what we’ve learned over time and creates a foundation for future decisions, helping us build on what’s already working, incorporate community input and continue adapting as both the forest and its users evolve.” Learn more about recreation opportunities, forest policies and ways to get involved: beav.es/fDF Above (left to right): OSU Recreation Manager Jenna Baker speaks with a forest visitor at an event.
