Sustainability Action Plan
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will use the Sustainability Action Plan to achieve sustainability in development, operations and business practices. The department’s commitment to sustainability derives specifically from its strategic vision, Target 2014—adopted by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission—and from our employees’ desire to act responsibly and be seen as leaders in sustainable practices consistent with our mission.
Framework for a Sustainable Future, published in December 2002, laid the groundwork for achieving the agency’s vision. Framework identified three principles, or areas of focus, to structure our thinking, deepen our understanding, and provide inspiration.
This plan seeks to identify and implement specific actions inspired by the principles. Although the plan will address four major actions for implementation in 2003-2005, there are many other “low-hanging fruit” that have been identified. Many of them have, will, or are being, implemented in the field with little central direction. Cumulatively, these actions demonstrate the commitment of staff and will make a significant contribution toward achievement of the principles.
