Lottery Dollars Support Nature in Oregon<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n \n

What is a watershed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It rains in Oregon\u2026a lot! All that rain heads into streams and rivers, where watersheds move it to the Pacific Ocean. These watersheds are where salmon hatch and grow and native plants anchor the soil to stream banks. They\u2019re where we hike and fish. They\u2019re also where we learn to love the natural places that make Oregon special.<\/p>\n

Oregon Lottery dollars help restore and enhance our natural habitat. Administered by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Lottery funds have supported more than 7,000 projects across the state and counting. These projects aren\u2019t just for the benefit of the plants and animals living here, but for everyone who gets to experience the natural beauty of our state.<\/p>\n

When you play Lottery games, Oregon\u2019s fish, wildlife and natural areas win. And so do Oregonians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
