World Forestry Center
The World Forestry Center is a nonprofit educational institution in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located near the Oregon Zoo in Washington Park, the organization was established in 1964 as the Western Forestry Center, with the actual building opening in 1971.〔"New forestry center opens" (June 6, 1971). ''The Sunday Oregonian'', p. 34.〕〔
==History==
The World Forestry Center has its roots in the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair for which an enormous log cabin was built of huge native trees and advertised as the world's largest. Public interest in the Forestry Building, which was turned over to the State of Oregon, lasted long after the exposition ended, right up until it was destroyed by fire on August 17, 1964.
The day after the fire, a group of civic and industry leaders conceived The Western Forestry Center. A new, more fire-resistant forestry building designed by Oregon architect John Storrs was built in Washington Park. It opened to the public on June 5, 1971.〔 The name was changed to "World Forestry Center" in 1986 to reflect the center's revised focus on forestry on a global scale.〔〔Hill, Alma (January 4, 1986). "Forestry center gets new name". ''The Oregonian'', p. C2.〕
On June 30, 2005, after a $7 million, 6-month renovation, the museum reopened with new interactive exhibits about the sustainability of forests and trees of the Pacific Northwest and the world.〔 〕
