“Protecting public land is part of my spiritual being. It’s central to my identity to be in wilderness and to see it protected.” Durlin is proud to protect public lands for future generations, saying, “The highlight of my childhood was our family’s weekend outdoor trips. I look forward to my grandchildren having similar experiences outside in their lifetimes, and it wouldn’t be possible without ONDA.”

“I connect with Oregon’s high desert through my feet, my eyes, my sense of smell, and all the things I hear. Getting out there is a whole body experience.” Supporting ONDA, Helen says, not only connects her with wild landscapes, but is also a good investment. “I felt like if I gave them $20, they might squeeze $23 out of it.”

Special thanks to all of the photographers who submitted images for calendar consideration, and to our calendar committee for their significant contributions to creating the Wild Desert Calendar each year.

And, thank you Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe, Paulina Springs Books, Sawyer Products, Strictly Organic Coffee Co., and Summer Lake Hot Springs for supporting high desert conservation and the Wild Desert Calendar.
