More State Parks Requiring Day Use Parking Permits this Spring
OPRD release - SALEM, Oregon— Starting March 30, 2026, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will no longer waive the parking fee at 22 additional day-use parks. A day-use parking permit is currently $10 for in-state visitors and $12 for out-of-state visitors and is valid for the entire day of purchase at any Oregon state park. Access to parks remains free for visitors who walk, bike, or use public transportation. Visitors who drive in can show valid parking by displaying a current hangtag from camping at an Oregon State Park or a current 12 or 24-month parking permit. Visitors who purchase parking permits online or via the parking QR codes can associate their license plates with valid payment. Currently, OPRD requires a day-use parking permit at 46 parks and waives parking fees at over 150 parks across the state. The 22 additional parks were selected based on amenities and features that require maintenance and operation such as restrooms, trails, paving, irrigation, boat ramps and more. Parking fees help pay for maintenance, operation, and keep these offerings available for all visitors. “These updates are about protecting the experiences visitors love,” said Interim Director Stefanie Coons. “We know fee changes are tough and we truly appreciate the support from visitors. These changes help us take care of things people count on like restrooms, boat ramps, and trails, so we can keep parks safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.” Oregon State Parks has three main sources of funding: a little less than half comes from constitutionally dedicated lottery funds, about 15% comes from recreational vehicle license plate fees and roughly 35% comes from park fees from visitors. It is not funded by general fund taxes. For frequent visitors looking to save on parking, an annual parking permit is available for Oregon State Parks and can be purchased online. The 12-month parking permit costs $60 for Oregon residents. The 24-month parking permit is no longer for sale, but valid permits will be honored until they expire. Additionally, March 30 also marks the start of a $10 fee at 19 RV dump stations across the park system. This fee helps cover the cost of maintaining this amenity and supports efforts toward more sustainable operations. Visitors can pay easily by scanning a QR code at the dump station or by paying online. Whether you are visiting for the day or camping overnight, Oregon State Parks recommends that you visit the park webpage before your visit. Conditions can change quickly and some parks may have construction or seasonal closures. Oregon state parks with parking fees added March 30, 2026: Agate Beach State Recreation Area; Angel’s Rest Trailhead; Banks-Vernonia State Trail; Bob Straub State Park; Brian Booth State Park; Bridal Veil Falls State Scenic Viewpoint; Cape Blanco State Park; Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint; Carl G Washburne Memorial State Park; Devil’s Punchbowl State Natural Area; Elijah Bristow State Park; Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area; Gleneden Beach State Recreation Area; Governor Patterson Memorial State Recreation Site; Lake Owyhee State Park; Latourell Falls Trailhead at Guy Talbot State Park; Molalla River State Park; Oceanside Beach State Recreation Area; Roads End State Recreation Site; Umpqua Lighthouse State Park; Wallowa Lake State Park; William M Tugman State Park.

Oregon's Governor Requests Federal Disaster Declaration for December Storms
OR Dept. of Emergency Management release - SALEM, Ore. — Gov. Tina Kotek has requested a major disaster declaration from President Donald Trump following severe storms that struck Oregon from Dec. 15 to Dec. 21, 2025. The request seeks public assistance for nine counties — Clackamas, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Polk, Tillamook, Union and Yamhill — and statewide access to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. "The scale of damage from December's severe storms impacted multiple Oregon communities, with more than $15 million in losses and needed repairs. Rural communities are stretched beyond their limits, and help from FEMA is urgently needed,” Governor Kotek said. “I'm requesting a major disaster declaration from President Trump because Oregonians did the hard work of showing up for each other and they deserve federal support to rebuild." The storms brought record rainfall, high winds and an atmospheric river that caused widespread flooding, landslides and mudslides. At the peak, more than 300,000 Oregonians were without power, and multiple highways and interstates were closed. One person died in Yamhill County. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) has created an interactive StoryMap detailing the event and its timeline. A joint preliminary damage assessment validated more than $15.4 million in eligible damages. Tillamook County had the highest per-capita damage at $154.29 per person. Without federal assistance, rural communities and consumer-owned utilities could face significant financial strain. “This storm struck our communities with little warning, leaving widespread damage and compounding the hardships from earlier storms and ongoing recovery efforts,” Erin McMahon, OEM director, said. “Local governments and utilities have worked tirelessly to protect lives and restore essential services, but the scale of destruction far exceeds what local resources can manage alone. Federal assistance is critical to help communities recover and build resilience against future disasters.” If approved, the declaration will provide funding for debris removal, emergency protective measures and repairs to roads, bridges, utilities and other public infrastructure. Hazard mitigation funding would support long-term projects to reduce future disaster impacts.

PacifiCorp Agrees to Settlement over Six Wildfires
U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon release - The four Oregon fires are: The “242 Fire,” which began on Sept. 7, 2020, near Chiloquin and burned 8,916 acres of federal land; The “Archie Creek Fire,” which began on Sept. 8, 2020, near French Creek in the Umpqua National Forest and burned 67,000 acres of federal land; The “Echo Mountain Complex Fire,” which began on Sept. 7, 2020, near Otis and burned approximately 2,500 acres, including federal land; and The “South Obenchain Fire,” which began on Sept. 8, 2020, east of Eagle Point and burned 14,780 acres of federal land. The two California fires are: The “Slater Fire,” which began on Sept. 8, 2020, on Slater Butte National Forest lands within the Klamath National Forest and burned 157,229 acres of federal land within the Klamath, Six River, and Rogue River Siskiyou National Forests; and The “McKinney Fire,” which began on July 29, 2022, on land next to the Klamath National Forest and burned 39,000 acres of federal land. The settlement resolves the United States’ claims that PacifiCorp’s electrical lines negligently started all six fires. The settlement monies will help repay the United States for the substantial costs it incurred fighting the fires, which is critical because the U.S. Forest Service now spends more than half of its budget on wildfire suppression annually. Settlement funds will also be distributed to the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to restore some of the 290,000 acres of public land that were burned. These recoveries are among the largest federal wildfire recoveries to date. “The United States and PacifiCorp have reached a settlement that ensures fair compensation to the American taxpayer for fire-related damages,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Adam Gustafson of the Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “This agreement strikes a balance by addressing the government’s significant fire-suppression costs and loss of natural resources without preventing PacifiCorp from offering electricity at fair prices.” “Wildfires remain a recurring threat to our natural resources, the safety of our communities, and their economic well-being. The costs of land losses and fire responses are substantial,” said U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon Scott E. Bradford. “Recouping the costs associated with these wildfires is a priority for our office, and this settlement achieves that.” “This settlement served the Department’s longstanding policy of holding individuals and corporations responsible for damages caused by wildfires. Every fire impacting federal lands, no matter the size, is a priority,” said U.S. Attorney Eric Grant of the Eastern District of California. This settlement is the result of a joint effort by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for Oregon and the Eastern District of California, the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexis Lien of the District of Oregon and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tara Amin and Kelli L. Taylor of the Eastern District of California handled the cases for the U.S. Attorney’s Offices. The claims resolved by this settlement are allegations only and there has been no determination of liability. PacifiCorp continues to deny liability for these fires.

Commission denies crab petition, urges ODFW to continue rulemaking process, Conservation Plan development to address whale entanglement
ODFW release - SPRINGFIELD, Ore.— The Commission voted 6-1 to deny a petition that requested crab fishery rules be modified to further reduce the risk of whale entanglement, while urging the department to continue its planned rulemaking process and engagement with NOAA fisheries to obtain ESA coverage. Whale entanglements have increased in Oregon and other West Coast states since 2014. This rise is linked to a growing humpback whale population, changing ocean conditions that increase overlap between whales and crab gear, and improved reporting. Most humpback whales that occur off Oregon's coast are listed as Threatened or Endangered. Commissioners made the decision after reviewing hundreds of pages of comments and hearing testimony from nearly 70 people at their meeting in Springfield today, including crab fishermen and representatives from the petitioning organizations (Center for Biological Diversity, Oceana, the Natural Resources Defense Council, American Cetacean Society and other parties). Representative Boice of Curry County testified, representing Oregon's coastal caucus, as did several coastal county commissioners. Accepting the petition would not have changed any rules but directed ODFW to conduct a public rulemaking process, with any proposed rule changes considered at a future public meeting and after an additional public process. Rulemaking to address whale entanglements was already underway, in collaboration with Oregon's commercial crabbing industry and the Oregon Entanglement Advisory Council, when the petition was received on Dec. 11, 2025. ODFW staff recommended accepting the petition given that rulemaking was already planned and as a way to ensure an open public process and consideration of economic impacts. "From the department's perspective, our recommendation was fundamentally to stay the course on planned 2026 rulemaking," said Director Debbie Colbert during the meeting. This includes a review of key entanglement risk reduction measures adopted to date, and rulemaking to consider experimental permits for testing pop-up and longline gear and requirements for electronic vessel monitoring. The work in 2026 is part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce whale entanglement risk that began in 2019 and includes ODFW, the commercial crabbing industry, the Oregon Entanglement Advisory Committee, and other stakeholders. Part of the strategy includes developing a Conservation Plan (CP) required to obtain an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) under Section 10 of the federal Endangered Species Act. Finalizing the CP and securing an ITP will ensure compliance with federal law while balancing conservation goals and maintaining a viable, sustainable fishery. ODFW is currently working with NOAA Fisheries to complete this process which can take several years. "We have been working actively to pursue a CP and submitted a partial plan to NOAA Fisheries last year," said Mike Harrington, Fish Division Administrator, noting NOAA staff reductions and the federal government shutdown may have slowed the process. "We recently heard back from NOAA on the CP and are addressing their comments. We will continue to aggressively pursue the CP and ITP." ODFW expects to submit a final plan to NOAA Fisheries this year. In other business, the Commission adopted a Final Order related to Winchester Water Control District (WWCD) in a 6-1 vote. The order incorporated by reference the order prepared by the Office of Administrative Hearings, Administrative Law Judge, which found WWCD violated fish passage laws in 2023 and therefore requires installation of Department criteria-compliant fish passage at Winchester dam by 2030.

Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission Response
The Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission would like to share an important update from today’s Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting. The Commission voted to deny the Administrative Procedure Act petition that sought additional changes to Oregon’s commercial Dungeness crab regulations to further reduce the risk of whale entanglement. We remain fully committed to protecting whales and other marine life while supporting a sustainable, community?based crab fishery. Over the past several years, Oregon’s crab fleet, ODFW staff, and the Commission have already implemented a series of conservation measures and adaptive, late?season rules to reduce entanglement risk, and that work will continue. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the fishermen and their families who took the time to travel, testify, and fill the room today. Your strong presence and united stand sent a powerful message about the importance of this fishery to Oregon’s coastal communities. Finally, we are deeply grateful to everyone who submitted written comments ahead of today’s meeting, including fishermen, processors, coastal community leaders, local governments, port representatives, business owners, and conservation voices from up and down the Oregon coast and beyond. Your engagement and thoughtful input are essential to keeping Oregon’s approach to whale conservation and fishery management both science?based and grounded in real?world experience.

Coast Guard rescues hiker lost for 5 days in Oregon’s Illinois River Valley
USCG release - ASTORIA, Ore. — A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a stranded hiker Friday morning in the Illinois River Valley near Greenwall Rapids, Oregon, following a multi-day search alongside the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. A MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station North Bend supported the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team during efforts to locate the 26-year-old hiker, who had last been seen Monday near Greenwall Rapids. The Coast Guard received a request earlier in the week from the Oregon Search and Rescue Coordinator to assist Josephine County with the search. The MH-65 crew deployed several times throughout the week, conducting aerial searches in support of ground teams. On Friday, a private party coordinating with search and rescue personnel located the hiker. Crews requested Coast Guard helicopter support after determining the individual could not be safely evacuated on foot due to their injuries. The hiker was suffering from injuries to his hands and feet. The MH-65 helicopter arrived on scene at approximately 11:55 a.m. The crew lowered a rescue swimmer and safely hoisted the hiker onboard the aircraft. The individual was transported to Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay for evaluation. The search effort spanned several days and involved close coordination between the Coast Guard and Josephine County Sheriff’s Office.

NBPD Reserve Police Officers Work over 475 Hours of Service
City of North Bend release - NBPD Reserve Officers donated 476.5 volunteer hours in 2025, supporting patrols, events, and public safety. Chief Cal Mitts says the unit strengthens North Bend citywide every day. The North Bend Police Department is recognizing the contributions of its reserve officers after the unit logged 476.5 hours of volunteer service in 2025, providing support for patrol operations, special events, and community needs across the city. North Bend Police Chief Cal Mitts said the reserve program is an important part of the department’s public safety mission and a meaningful way for community members to serve. “Our reserve officers give their time freely, and they do it with professionalism, dedication, and a real heart for this community,” Chief Mitts said. “That 476.5 hours represents a lot more than a number — it reflects people stepping up to help keep North Bend safe.” Chief Mitts said police reserve programs are designed to supplement a department’s work by providing trained volunteers who can assist in a variety of roles, helping expand the department’s capacity while maintaining strong community ties. “A reserve program gives people a way to serve alongside law enforcement in a structured, professional setting,” Chief Mitts said. “Reserve officers support patrol functions, assist during community events, and help us meet public safety needs in ways that strengthen the whole department.” In a small city, Chief Mitts said, reserve officers can make a noticeable difference by increasing visibility, supporting officers during busy periods, and helping the department stay responsive to community needs. “In a community like North Bend, every hour matters,” Chief Mitts said. “Our reserve officers help extend our reach, and that creates real value for residents. They allow us to better support public events, maintain a visible presence, and reinforce the work of our full-time staff.” Chief Mitts also emphasized that reserve service can be a valuable opportunity for people who want to give back, gain experience, or explore a future in law enforcement. “For anyone who has ever thought about serving the community, learning more about policing, or preparing for a law enforcement career, the Reserve Program is a great place to start,” Chief Mitts said. “It’s hands-on, it’s meaningful, and it gives people a chance to make a real impact.” As the reserve unit continues to grow, Chief Mitts said the department remains grateful for the time and commitment reserve officers contribute throughout the year. “We are incredibly grateful for every one of our reserve officers,” Chief Mitts said. “Their service truly matters, and North Bend is better because of what they do.” Those interested in learning more about reserve officer opportunities with the North Bend Police Department can find information through the City of North Bend employment listings.
