Natural Resources


Our natural open spaces, native plantings, tree ordinance, restoration projects, and water and energy conservation are some of the ways Lake Oswego protects and preserves its natural resources. Citizens value the quality of life in their community, and a significant contributing factor to livability is the balance maintained between developed and natural areas. Council and staff are committed to making sustainable choices for the City, now and in the future.
