    News Release from Marion Co. Sheriff's Office

    The north fork of the Santiam River is regarded as one of the most scenic and beautiful recreation areas in the State of Oregon. With its vast forests and waterfalls the North Fork Canyon is a popular destination for our residents and visitors.

    Despite its beauty the remote forested area is often the victim of the illegal dumping of trash. That is why deputies with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and your Marion County Public Works “teamed up to clean up.” Deputies with the Sheriff’s Office forest patrol, the Marion County Parks Department and work crews from the Sheriff’s Office Transition Center worked for 8 hours to remove trash dumped in the areas of North Fork Road SE, Pioneer Road SE and Gates Hill Road SE.

    Crews removed tires and rubbish from parks and private forest lands. In all the team collected some 1180 pounds of trash to be disposed of. The Sheriff’s Office asks anyone who sees illegal dumping or may have information on illegal dumpers to please call us at 503 588 5032.
