H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest
H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a famous research site for studying old growth forests by doing long-term ecological research in the Western Cascades. Scientists and writers come from all over the world to study, observe, and learn from this spectacular old growth forest. Through their long-term ecological research, scientists study all components of the forest and watershed to better understand the interactions and components of biodiversity, disturbance, hydrology, soils, climate, humanities, information management, vegetation, stream ecology, and carbon and nutrients. Not only is H.J. Andrews a leader in this type of research, but they also work to support education on forests, streams, and watersheds. They work to combine knowledge and skills between many different disciplines including ecosystem science, education, natural resource management, and the humanities, in order to get a better understanding of the natural world and work to protect and conserve it. H.J. Andrews’ goals are similar to those of Canopy Connections. Both strive to educate youth about old growth forests and inspire students to pursue careers in science, ecology, and the humanities in relation to forest and stream ecology. H.J. Andrews is doing a great service in allowing Canopy Connections to utilize their research site to teach Oregon’s youth about forest ecosystems so these natural sites can be conserved in the future.

Pacific Tree Climbing Institute (PTCI)
The Pacific Tree Climbing Institute provides guided tree climbs into old growth forests. They hope to show people that old growth forests have a lot more value as intact forests than they do as lumber. They offer this service to give people a once and a life time opportunity to climb up into these rare, but beautiful forests. The tree climbing experience is exhilarating, but the guides make everyone feel comfortable hanging in a 90-foot tall Douglas fir. PTCI wants people to appreciate these old growth forests for their beauty, wonder, and joy they bring to people and species. Canopy Connections is a fabulous way to get youth excited about exploring the old growth forests. It is an experience that they will not forget. PTCI and Canopy Connections makes this once in a life time opportunity possible.
