Protect Oregon’s Owyhee Canyonlands

With 2.5 million acres of wildlands and hundreds of miles of Wild and Scenic rivers, Oregon’s Owyhee Canyonlands represents the largest conservation opportunity remaining in the lower 48 states. ONDA is working with local residents and other stakeholders to identify opportunities for permanent protection for this remote and wild area.

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.

There is a point in the Owyhee region, in northwestern Nevada, that is, at 115 miles away, as far away as you can get from a McDonalds in the U.S.
