We have set a goal of raising enough funds to plant at least ONE MILLION trees, to ensure that in the future, and for future generations, these burned areas will once again be lush and green!

The Oregon Parks & Recreation Commission today accepted a donation from Oregon Parks Forever to construct hike-bike pods at three additional state parks along the Oregon Coast.

On May 15th, Oregon Parks Forever celebrated our 25th anniversary. On the occasion of this special anniversary, we would like to recognize the impact that Brian Booth and the Founding Trustees have had by creating a non-profit to raise money to support our parks.

COVID caused a huge reduction in staffing across Federal & State parks & forests in Oregon, followed by very large increases in park visitation as people were taking vacations locally.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will offer limited camping at many state park campgrounds starting June 9.
