Edition: Current OARD snapshotEffective: 2014-03-11Last verified: 2026-09-07
The purpose of these rules is to protect Oregon’s native wildlife. These rules aim for this goal by regulating human actions involving nonnative wildlife (whether those actions involve trade in nonnative wildlife or involve interaction with nonnative species in the wild). The rules allow private use or ownership of nonnative species to the extent that they do not pose a significant risk of harm to native species.
