Ag Secretary Concurs On Gorge Management Plan

The Secretary of Agriculture has given concurrence that the revised Gorge 2020 Management Plan for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is consistent with the National Scenic Area Act.  In approving the revised plan in October, the Columbia River Gorge Commission focused on updates to increase protections in the Scenic and Natural Resources chapters, as well as Economic Development, Land Uses, Urban Area Boundary revisions, and Recreation chapters.  There is also a new Climate Change Chapter, and the Gorge Commission will begin developing a climate change action plan in 2021.  With the concurrence determination, the Gorge Commission will now formally transmit the revised Management Plan to the counties in the National Scenic Area to incorporate into their county ordinances.
