We are living in an unprecedented time for public lands conservation. People who care deeply about wildlife and wild lands, climate adaptation and resiliency, and public participation in planning and management of our public lands are alarmed as the Trump administration and Congress pursue their anti-conservation agenda.
ONDA members vigilantly respond to attacks on our public lands, waters and wildlife by ensuring that decision-makers and agencies uphold their obligation to manage and conserve public lands for the benefit of all Americans. But there are times when ONDA needs our community to go above and beyond by speaking out in the news media, attending an event or helping document conditions on the ground.
By signing up to be a Desert Defender, you are joining our community of deeply engaged advocates who form the foundation of ONDA’s grassroots power. We meet virtually every other month to discuss current conservation priorities in Oregon’s high desert and how you can get involved.
