Due to state budget reductions, OPRD headquarter offices are closed Friday, May 25 for a mandatory furlough day. State parks and Reservations Northwest remain open. Online reservations are available at Reserve America.
State Parks Day is our thanks to you. Free one-night camping and day-use June 2. Also in this issue of the Go Guide: When you take a trip to a state park, you're more than likely supporting local businesses. Learn about historic cemetery preservation and their importance to our heritage community. Grant's Getaways takes us on a tour of the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway near Cottage Grove.
Please protect the Pacific Northwest from invasive species by obtaining or purchasing your firewood at or near your camping destination. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by buying and burning your firewood locally.
