OSU Extension will host a Landslides In Forested Landscapes field tour May 19 near Glide and Idleyld Park. The $5 tour will help landowners and managers identify landslide features and unstable terrain. Advance registration is required by May 17.
ROSEBURG, Ore. — Oregon State University Extension Service will host a field tour later this month to help landowners and land managers better understand landslides, unstable slopes, and forested terrain.
The Landslides In Forested Landscapes field tour is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is being offered in partnership with the Oregon Department of Forestry.
According to OSU Extension, landslides are a natural part of the landscape, but they can have major effects on land, property, forest productivity, and harvest planning. The tour is designed to help participants learn how to read the landscape and identify signs of unstable terrain.
During the field tour, participants will visit multiple sites showing different landslide features and indicators of unstable slopes.
Participants will meet in Glide and ride in vans provided by OSU Extension to several landslide locations along Rock Creek Road in Idleyld Park. Exact meeting location details will be shared with registered participants.
The cost is $5 per person, and advance registration is required by Sunday, May 17, 2026.
