Keeping the public informed and engaged in Oregon’s high desert conservation priorities.

ONDA is committed to ensuring our community can effectively weigh in on critical conservation actions by keeping you up to date on all the latest news, events and issues. Sign up for our e-newsletter to be alerted when there are opportunities to advocate for conservation of Oregon’s desert public lands.

From leading campaigns to protect Oregon’s most compelling desert lands, waters and wildlife to defending public lands from misguided proposals, your voice is essential to protecting, defending and restoring Oregon’s high desert.

Here are five ways you can take action to conserve Oregon’s high desert at any time:

Engage. Contact decision-makers to tell them why public lands in Oregon’s high desert matter to you. Write a letter, make a phone call, or send an email to your members of Congress. Ask them to take steps to support desert public lands.

Amplify. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper and let others know why public lands conservation is important to you.

Experience. Get out and enjoy Oregon’s desert public lands. Find new places to spend time in Oregon’s high desert.

Share. Tell others in your community about the places you love and why they should be conserved.

Give. Member donations make ONDA an effective advocate for public lands and drive conservation outcomes.

Restoration is hard slow work. It takes hold, or it doesn’t, in fits and starts. The immensity of the need can be discouraging, but we must carry on. I am so thankful ONDA carries on.

In the summer these lizards begin foraging for food as soon as their body temperature rises as the heat of the day increases. They feed on slow-moving, ground-dwelling insects. In the fall they hibernate by burying themselves in the sand.
