 Mckenzie RiverClear, cold, and fast, the McKenzie River flows from the Willamette National Forest, and feeds into the Willamette River just north of Eugene. The river provides habitat for freshwater fish and clean drinking water. Recreational activities are enjoyed along the McKenzie, including hiking, rafting, fishing, and swimming. |  Howard Buford Recreation AreaA man and boy plant a vine maple at a Howard Buford Park Recreation Area restoration project. During the Mudstains for Floodplains event, 125 volunteers helped plant over 1,000 trees and shrubs to restore the historic floodplain of the Coast Fork of the Willamette River. |  Coast Range, MapletonOne of the primary exports of Oregon is timber. Clear-cut logging is the most common way to harvest Douglas-fir trees and the practice can be devastating to ecosystems. Clear-cuts destroy old-growth forests, home to many native animals, and increases hillside erosion, degrading soil and water quality in the surrounding watershed. |
