About OFRI
The Oregon Legislature created the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) in 1991 to improve public understanding of the state’s forest resources and to encourage environmentally sound forest management through training and other educational programs for forest landowners. OFRI is funded by a dedicated harvest tax on forest products producers.

OFRI Mission
The Oregon Forest Resources Institute is dedicated to public understanding of forest stewardship to meet the social, environmental and economic needs of both present and future generations.
