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.
Stewardship Pronghorn Fence
The health of Oregon’s high desert public lands relies on science-based management practices that carefully balance the region’s many uses and values. Now, the Trump administration wants to dramatically shift that balance—prioritizing rampant cattle grazing at the expense of desert lands, waters, and wildlife. To defend Oregon's high desert from the proposed changes to grazing regulations, we ask you to submit a public comment before the Monday, July 13 deadline at 8:59 p.m. PDT.
Take Action
The Trump administration is once again proposing to cut funding for the Bureau of Land Management, the agency responsible for stewarding 12 million acres of Oregon's high desert. Take action now to block these devastating cuts and defend public lands.
