Over 155,000 non-motorized visitors are attracted to the abundant recreational facilities in the McDonald and Dunn Research Forests just north of Corvallis. Connecting with nature has become a community focus with local volunteers assisting with the maintenance of the forests in conjunction with the students of Oregon State University.

The students utilize the breathing classroom to manage its diverse species of plant life, including the focus on Douglas-fir, which has been flourishing in the area since early Euro-American settlement.
