Honoring Our Rivers (HOR) is a project of the Willamette Partnership and is produced with the assistance of volunteers and the support of businesses, individuals and foundations.  It is the mission of HOR to engage the creative capacities of Oregon residents, particularly its youth, to promote and nurture respect for Oregon's fragile river systems.

 

“It is a tribute to the wisdom of children, and to the vision of a committee of adults who- in the middle of all the clamoring, competing voices- decided to ask the children to speak for the river...In the end, this is what Honoring Our River is all about- the reminder that we are, all of us who live in the Willamette River water- shed, people of the river.”

~ Kathleen Dean Moore, Educator and Author
