It seems that the town of Merrill, Oregon is dedicating a park to Carl Barks, to be named the Good Duck Park: www.usnews.com/news/best-states/oregon/articles/2018-05-11/oregon-town-dedicates-new-park-to-donald-duck-artist.

That's pretty cool, but man, what a bad article. "The Herald and News reported Friday that Carl Barks died in 2000 but he's now considered one of the most influential comics of all time."

Indeed. Incidentally, a member of the DCML also discovered this news, and shared a photo of an article in a local newspaper: (click to enlarge and turn right-side up)
 
According to the article, the park will be located by a restaurant called "Pappy Gander and co.", which is an interesting coincidence. Also, a school will apparently be taking a trip there to plant flowers in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife.
