Wyden sets Aug. 31 virtual town hall on bill to greatly expand Oregon wild and scenic rivers

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., announced Friday he will have a live online town hall hosted by People’s Town Hall on Tuesday, Aug. 31 beginning at 1 pm for rural Oregonians about his River Democracy Act – legislation that would designate about 4,700 miles of rivers and streams as wild-and-scenic as well as expand access to jobs-creating recreation statewide, reduce wildfire risks and protect existing property, grazing and irrigation rights.
