Exhibits

The trees planted by Weyerhaeuser at Mount St. Helens continue to grow - and so does the story of renewable, sustainable forests. Exhibits at the Forest Learning Center provide updates and illustrate how forests are managed today to ensure that there will be forests in the future. Some of our most popular exhibits are:
