Goal 3: SUSTAINABLE USE AND MANAGEMENT
The Commission and the Department hold a public trust to protect Oregon’s park system, including the Willamette River Greenway, State Scenic Waterways and ocean shores. The Department practices sustainable natural resource management that balances the needs of today’s outdoor enthusiasts with the need to assure future generations enjoy similar benefits.
Goal 3: Advance the principles of conservation and sustainability in land management, development and business practices.
We will:
- Manage state parks to ensure overall health and beauty of the ecosystem and the protection and recovery of rare, sensitive, threatened and endangered species.
- Maintain and enhance park watersheds and ecosystems through collaboration with other agencies, nonprofit organizations and park neighbors.
- Systematically increase sustainable measures in all aspects of the Department including new development, park maintenance, resource management projects and internal operations.
