Green Action

The Oregon State Parks Foundation is the only statewide non-profit partner of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department dedicated to raising funds that will enhance and preserve the experience of using the 255 Oregon State Parks, now and for generations to come.

Since 1995, the Foundation has supported many vital projects such as restoring Vista House at Crown Point, helping to renovate five Oregon Lighthouses, preserving the Kam Wah Chung & Co Museum, and putting the first yurts in State Parks anywhere in the country.

Our mission is to create awareness about the plight of the environment, to educate the public about caring for our planet, humanity and the environment, to run recycling operations and to support environmental projects and programs locally and globally.

Some of our projects:

Collecting Used Clothes and Shoes
Through our green drop off bins we provide a convenient way for people in local communities to drop their unwanted clothes and other items.
