Inquiry Regarding Forest Service Officer — March 24, 2026 Visit to Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
Document

To Whom It Concerns: I am a volunteer caretaker for the Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Siltcoos Corridor. On March 24, 2026, an individual identifying himself as Matt Oliver, badge number 555, stationed in Springfield, arrived at the Siltcoos Work Center — a restricted federal facility — along with two other officers. He did not coordinate with the local Siuslaw Forest Service law enforcement officer prior to this visit. He was here to intimidate me over a protected First Amendment right. I have filed an official Siuslaw National Forest Host/Caretaker Incident Report documenting this visit. I am writing to confirm whether a Matt Oliver is employed by your office and to obtain the contact information of his supervisor so that I may properly document this incident through appropriate channels. Thank you for your assistance. Robert Samuel White
