Portland in the News: Oregon Lifts Outdoor Mask Mandate; Beavers Living in Salt Water; Electric Unicycle Parade & More | November 24, 2021

Oregon scientists have found that beavers live in tidal wetlands on the coast, surviving in salt water.

And one of Portland’s newest weekly rides, the Friday Night Ride attracts electric unicycles, e-bikes and skateboards through downtown Portland.
