Ten Trees Tour is a semi-guided activity that uses Trees to Know in Oregon dichotomous keys to identify selected trees at Hopkins Demonstration Forest. The tour can also be offered as self-guided activity for classes, youth groups or families. During the tour participants learn how to identify various trees, while also learning about their natural history, human use and other aspects of life cycle or role in the forest.

Science in the Forest is a field science program offered in coordination with WolfTree, Inc. that gives students a hands-on, science experience mentored by college students and resource professionals.

Soil Samplers has students explore the soil and different ways to control erosion at Hopkins Demonstration Forest.

Service-learning in its purest form is learner-directed, project-centered, place-based learning through action and community engagement. When teachers or youth leaders request "service-learning" sometimes students have generated the interest, and sometimes the service is prescribed. Whatever the origination of a forestry project, the learning process is infused into a service project. The most common service-learning requests are for tree planting, erosion control and wildlife related projects.

Community Service is quite similar to service-learning, with more emphasis on the service. Community service volunteers are involved with the widest variety of simple tasks: trail maintenance, weed control, pruning, tree planting, erosion control, misc. facility maintenance projects.
