Make Your Voice Heard For Public Lands

Each day Oregon’s elected leaders and the appointed officials who head land management agencies make decisions about how our lands are managed. They need to hear your voice on these important issues.

Our advice for connecting with these decision-makers:

Make it relevant and personal—remind them that you’re a constituent and tell them why public lands are important to important to you personally and to other people in their district or state.

Don’t forget the ask—your request can be general, like “please stand up for public lands and make sure they stay in public hands,” or better yet, refer to a specific bill or issue you’re concerned about.

“ONDA stewardship trips inspire me. I get to learn new things and see new places, and in the process perform important work that improves the wildlife habitat.”

So proud of ONDA and its members and volunteers. Such hard work gets done. To use an overused word, this is patriotism!

“The people I have had the privilege to share time with each season keep me volunteering again and again. Who else but those ONDA staff leaders would make fresh coffee at dawn each morning or pack a watermelon all day to serve as a reward under a juniper in a steep canyon?” Craig, who grew up in northwestern Nevada, says ONDA connects him with places he loves and a mission he believes in. “My grandfather and his father put up wire fences for their ranching needs. Taking out barbed wire sort of completes a circle for me.”
