“The desert speaks for itself, but very softly. I support ONDA to promote and enable discovery of the amazing beauty and recreational opportunities of the high desert by much broader groups of people; and most especially to protect forever the full and diverse landscape of the Owyhee Canyonlands, a place without parallel or equal in our country.”
Connecting Trails

We frequently bring in short-term staff to work on special projects that support our conservation priorities. Our annual Hillis Internship offers students and young professionals a paid opportunity to join us for a variety of important projects including wildlands inventory, wildlife surveys, and data analysis. We also periodically design seasonal roles to support our conservation and stewardship programs, and we host paid interns to work with us on fundraising, events and communications projects.
Our Tribal Stewards Program offers paid positions to Tribal and Indigenous youth and young adults. Participants work on culturally informed ecological restoration projects in Oregon’s high desert. With a focus on leadership and professional development, ONDA and land managers share information about conservation career pathways, while visits with Tribal elders and community leaders provide important cultural context.
