Thank Senators Wyden and Merkley for championing protections for Oregon’s outstanding rivers!
Senators Wyden and Merkley are championing wild and scenic protections for some of Oregon’s outstanding rivers and streams. These rivers provide clean drinking water for communities, support local economies, are critical to the health and abundance of fish and wildlife species, and provide numerous recreation opportunities for Oregonians and visitors including fishing, rafting, hiking and camping. Safeguarding Oregon’s rivers will ensure that these treasures are protected for future generations.
