This year Oregon Natural Desert Association is proud to partner with the Hells Canyon Preservation Council, Conservation Lands Foundation, The Wilderness Society, The Peradam Foundation, and the High Desert Committee of the Sierra Club to bring Desert Conference back.
A multitude of issues face the evolving desert landscape including renewable energy development, habitat fragmentation, climate change, public lands grazing and de-watering of desert lakes and rivers. Desert Conference provides a forum for land-managers, conservation organizations, academics and advocates alike to cooperate for better environmental protections.
Desert Conference will be held at Washington Family Ranch near Antelope, Oregon, in the heart of the John Day Basin. From here you will have the opportunity to explore and help restore nearby wilderness and proposed wilderness areas.
This year’s conference will feature author Craig Childs and Peter Illyn, an Environmental Stewardship Minister, music by Craig Caruthers plus panels on topics covering a variety of desert issues.
