Oregon is the place to be. The place of choice. Oregonians share a sense of patriotism about the state, a sense of pride, and a willingness to participate in keeping their cherished place one in which the air is clear, the rivers and streams are clean, and the land is bountiful.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality shares these values and goals, and is committed to working with Oregonians to protect, restore and enhance Oregon's environment. We are excited to be working on today's environmental challenges, from climate change to toxics reduction. We invite you to get involved to make a difference with us for the Oregon of today and tomorrow.
