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.

Reid Williams, 2021 Conservationist of the Year

Reid Williams, 2021 Conservationist of the Year

How far are you willing to hike for conservation? Reid Williams offered to put in more than 20 miles a day, by himself, walking and monitoring fence lines on Beatys Butte. And that was on top of weekly visits to the ONDA office, where he is always eager to help with extra projects. In acknowledgment of his willingness and helpful spirit, ONDA named him our 2021 Conservationist of the Year.

“I contribute to ONDA monthly because it adds up to a larger annual gift than what I’d be able to comfortably afford if I were to do a simple one-time donation annually. I’m able to give more to ONDA this way and have greater impact which is important to me, and my dog Polly.”
