Gorge Commission and East Cascades Oak Partnership host a regional panel to discuss planning issues and opportunities in oak habitat.

Partners

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is one of a kind and protecting it takes a team. As a small staff, we rely on the energy, expertise, and creativity of our partners to help steward this special place. Our staff and commissioners work closely with organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting the Gorge and supporting local economies.
