Primary goals for <br /> <br /> the Oregon Forest Legacy Program are to conserve private forest lands in areas where forests may be lost to <br /> non-forest uses, sustain forest resources, and to strengthen communities and facilitate state, local, and <br /> private partnerships in forest conservation. <br /> Directions: From Interstate 5, take Beltline Exit to West 1 1 th Avenue.
