You’re invited to celebrate desert conservation and all your accomplishments.

In 2024, Oregon Natural Desert Association will host two year-end celebrations. Join ONDA board, staff and supporters in celebrating the many high desert conservation successes you achieved this year. You’ll hear highlights from this year’s advocacy and community-building initiatives, habitat restoration projects and learn about what’s to come in the year ahead.

“If I have to pick a favorite place in Oregon’s high desert, it would be Sutton Mountain, but I’m excited about all of the Wilderness Study Areas,” says Terry, adding, “Each is a gem to explore, and I hope they all get protection someday… I love the scale of the physical beauty of the desert.”
