As Central Oregon’s movement to get more kids outside, we invite other organizations and agencies to join our partnership, so that together, we can be a more powerful voice for children.  Any public, private, or nonprofit organization that shares a commitment to our mission and values is invited to be a partner in The Children’s Forest of Central Oregon.  Our job is to create a movement and we aim to be as inclusive as possible.
