State of Oregon: Listed Plant Permits and Consultations

Native plants that are listed as threatened or endangered in Oregon are protected on all non-federal public lands (ORS 564.105). Any land action on Oregon non-federal public lands which results, or might result, in the collection or disturbance of a threatened or endangered species requires either a permit or a consultation with staff at ODA.
