While it's true Oregon contains only one national park (Crater Lake), it contains several national monuments.

These include the occasionally controversial Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, which protects the unique ecosystem where the ancient Siskiyou Mountains meet the volcanic Cascades. 

The wonders of the landscape are observed and sung (literally) by scientists and artists alike. 

Friends of the Cascade-Siskiyou include those groups and many more.  Geologist Megan Mortimer-Lamb visits to talk about the unique geology of the region.
