Learn what the Oregon State Parks Trust is doing to promote diversity and how they're using the State Parks system to do it.
The Oregon State Parks Trust is the only statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing Oregon's state parks. It has raised more than $8.2 million for state parks projects.
A large part of this effort has been to further understanding of ethnic and cultural diversity -- by connecting the culture and history of Oregon to these places that have become State Parks. It has also brought accessibility to many sites for those with disabilities.
Learn about some of the most intriguing spots in our State Parks system, and about how they both educate us about our diverse history, and open up opportunities to experience Oregon's parks for those who might have difficulty visiting these great places.
