There’s always so much to see at the Tillamook Forest Center – summer season starts with ROOTS.
ROOTS | Temporary Exhibit | June 15th – September 15th
The Oregon Department of Forestry’s Recreation, Education, and Interpretation Program partnered with Chad Brown, Nonprofit Leader, Film Director, Cinematographer, Creative Director, & Photographer, to advance the narrative and recognize outdoor recreation leaders of color with connections to Oregon’s State Forests. Chad Brown is an accomplished documentary-style portrait and adventure photographer, outdoor enthusiast, and Navy veteran. The result is an exhibit which highlights three BIPOC individuals who have established themselves as leaders in the outdoor recreation industry, highlighting their connection to state forest lands, and particularly the Tillamook State Forest. Don’t miss the temporary ROOTS exhibit beginning on June 15th through September 15th with an opening reception on June 15th.
ROOTS Exhibit Opening | Meet the Story Keepers will occur on June 15, 2024, from 1 – 2 pm
Please consider yourself invited to join Chad Brown, Nonprofit Leader, Film Director, Cinematographer, Creative Director, Photographer, and featured BIPOC outdoor recreation leaders Pam Slaughter, and Brian Chou for a discussion on their experiences and the creation of the ROOTS exhibit hosted this summer from June 15 – September 15, 2024, at the Tillamook Forest Center.
