Oregonians for Water, Parks and Wildlife
 a project of The Conservation Campaign

For over a decade, 15% of Oregon’s Lottery funds have worked to restore wildlife habitat, protect our water supply, and make our state and local parks safer and more accessible for all Oregon families. But unless we take action now, this funding will end. Without a citizen’s initiative, the progress we have made will be lost.

With your help, we can protect Oregon’s water, parks and wildlife for decades to come.

This important measure will:

• Continue to protect and restore clean water in Oregon's rivers, lakes and streams.
• Preserve natural areas and wildlife habitats that are an important part of Oregon's natural heritage, economy and quality of life.
• Improve and expand state and local parks, enabling Oregon families to enjoy nature and the outdoors close to home.
• Preserve federal matching funds in Oregon that would otherwise go to other states for their parks and natural areas.
• Renew Oregon's only dedicated fund for water, parks and wildlife, with no increase in taxes, and no cuts to other vital services.

Many leading organizations have already endorsed our ballot measure, including:

The Conservation Campaign (“TCC”) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that works across the country in partnership with other non-profit organizations and citizens groups to advocate for ballot and legislative measures that will expand the amount of public funds available to protect America’s land and water resources.  Since being founded in 2000, TCC has supported more than 300 ballot measure campaigns that have helped generate more than $34 billion in new public funding for conservation.  TCC has sponsored more than 70 statewide and local campaign committees in support of conservation funding measures.  TCC-sponsored campaign committees are fully sanctioned and operated as TCC corporate campaign committees. TCC files the  tax returns, extends its corporate liability insurance to the committee, and oversee committee expenditures.  For more information about The Conservation Campaign, visit www.conservationcampaign.org. 

To promote the initiative petition to make lottery funding for conservation permanent in Oregon, TCC has joined forces with conservation partners to form and sponsor a corporate chief petitioner committee, the Oregonians for Water, Parks and Wildlife, a project of The Conservation Campaign.  The address of Oregonians for Water, Parks and Wildlife, a project of The Conservation Campaign, is 1125 SE Madison Street #102, Portland, OR 97214.
