We have few enough protections for our heritage sites as it is.

Damaging and substantial changes to the federal regulatory process known as Section 106 were hastily proposed with a highly irregular email vote due tomorrow, just one-week after a draft proposal was made public. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a voting member who voted no. Congressional leaders are pushing back and urging rejection, including Senator Ron Wyden (thank you!).

As a statewide partner with the National Trust, Preservation Action, National Preservation Partners Network, Restore Oregon is working quickly to develop an action plan for Oregon and what will need to happen rapidly in the next month or so as this moves forward. We are also working with our State partners on ways to support the regulatory work they must do that protects historic and cultural resources in Oregon.

For now, we ask all our readers, supporters, and all the professionals who work in the regulatory and cultural resources management sector of our field to be ready and available to help Restore Oregon in this endeavor to advocate and work in collaboration on this crisis. It is going to take all of us!
