Rivers to Ridges Parks and Open Space 20-Year Vision “Refresh” Process Underway

The Rivers to Ridges Partnership is a voluntary association of 19 organizations working collaboratively to advance the protection, restoration, and management of open space resources in the southern Willamette Valley. The Rivers to Ridges planning area focuses on the Eugene-Springfield area, surrounding rural lands and small cities, and the confluences of four major watersheds —Coast and Middle Fork Willamette, Long Tom, and McKenzie. The name Rivers to Ridges emanates from a regional open space vision which was endorsed by numerous stakeholder groups including Lane County Audubon in 2003.
