The 2003 update was approved by the State Land Board in February 2004, and is now available electronically (2003 Oregon Natural Heritage Plan). It replaces the 1998 edition, and describes the Natural Heritage Program and Natural Areas System in Oregon. Major changes include the adoption of new ecoregional boundaries, and major revisions of the geology and species sections. Because these sections have been so significantly changed, we would greatly appreciate any comments about the change, revisions, and potential errors. Send or email comments to Jimmy Kagan.
