Ready to get out into the desert and give it some care?
Oregon Natural Desert Association would love to see you on one of the dozens of stewardship trips and independent stewardship projects that we host. With options ranging from weekday to weekend trips, single-day to multi-day trips, front country to backcountry trips and projects taking place all throughout Oregon’s high desert, we hope you find something that is just right for you among this variety of opportunities. No experience is needed, and ONDA provides all of the tools and training that volunteers need to complete the restoration work, stay safe, and have fun!
Here are a few items to note:
- Registration for fall trips opens on July 16, and registration for independent stewards projects is open until the last month of the project.
- You will only need to fill out the full form the first time you sign up for a trip in 2024. A short form will be available for those registering for a second time.
- If there are openings that need to be filled, we will communicate those opportunities via our e-newsletter.
- Should you need special accommodations to attend an ONDA group trip or independent project, please let us know. We want to provide everyone with the opportunity to spend some quality time in the desert, contributing to the restoration, conservation and stewardship work at ONDA.
- ONDA trips and projects involve varying levels of physical activity. Trip difficulty is rated from 1 to 5 for each trip. You can find a description of what each of these levels means on our trip difficulty ratings page.
- Dogs are not allowed on group stewardship trips, but you are welcome to bring your dog on independent projects.
- Have questions? Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
