It's Official - Tillamook State Forest Volunteers are AWESOME!

SOLVE IT Success on April 21, 2018!

The weather was beautiful, the volunteers were pumped and the Tillamook State Forest's 2018 SOLVE Earth Day Clean-up was a resounding success.  We may be a little biased, but I think it’s obvious, Tillamook State Forest Volunteers ROCK!

At the end of the day 4 ODF staff members working with a group of 60 volunteers from 7 different clubs and organizations removed over 6,000 pounds of garbage (about 30 cubic yards) and 201 tires from the Tillamook State Forest in just under 4 hours!
