Yes on Measure 76

Protect Oregon’s natural legacy for future generations

Oregonians have long been committed to preserving what makes our state unique—our parks, our rivers, lakes and coastline, our iconic salmon.

Measure 76 ensures that we continue to protect what makes us proud to be Oregonians. This measure continues funding originally approved by voters in 1998 for Oregon’s parks and habitat around the state. This funding comes from a small allotment of lottery funds that will soon be expiring. Read the Oregonian's resounding endorsement of the measure.

Measure 76 helps ensure that Oregon families have clean water to drink, fish in and play in.

Measure 76 funds 241 state parks around Oregon, where thousands of Oregon families relax, fish and connect with nature each year. Our parks are also a draw for Oregon’s robust tourism industry and provide local jobs for working Oregonians.

Measure 76 protects lands along Oregon’s coastline, preventing pollution from tainting our coastal waters.

Measure 76 supports habitat for salmon and other fish, funding state programs that build fish ladders and install fish screens to make sure Oregon’s diverse fish populations thrive.

In 1998, Oregon’s parks were in dire straits, barely maintained, with many facing closure. But Oregon voters turned the tide, and today we have a healthy, diverse network of parks that provide recreation and habitat for future generations. We don’t want to lose that.

Vote YES on Measure 76.
