Oregon wildlife and park officials are encouraging the public to spend time outside the first weekend of June.
The state is waiving parking fees on June 6 for State Parks Day. There will also be free events across the state. A full list is available on the Oregon State Parks website.
The public can also go fishing for free that weekend. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has declared June 6 and 7 free fishing days.
The public can go fishing, crabbing or clamming without a license those days. Those who gather shellfish should however check to see if the beach they are planning to visit is on the state’s hazardous biotoxin list.
