Located in the far southeast corner of the state, Oregon’s Owyhee Canyonlands represent one of the largest conservation opportunities in the American West. Boasting more than 2.5 million acres of desert wildlands and described as “Oregon’s Grand Canyon,” the deep ravines, rocky spires, rolling sagebrush plains and rushing rivers are home to myriad fish and wildlife, boundless recreation, and feature some of the darkest night skies in the country.

Join Mark Salvo, Conservation Director for Oregon Natural Desert Association and member of the Central Oregon Bitterbrush Broads, on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 4:00 PM (Pacific) for this Zoom webinar where he will share the latest on this riveting, often frustrating, and ever evolving effort to conserve one of the last, best places in Oregon and the West. 

An unprecedented coalition of conservation organizations, Tribal Nations, sporting interests, elected leaders, businesses, community groups and more than 70,000 individuals have been advocating for permanent protection for the Owyhee for the past three years. Now this national campaign has arrived at its moment of truth: will Congress or the president finally act to designate this irreplaceable landscape before the end of the year? Or will both fail to do so, leaving the Canyonlands vulnerable to increasing threats that could change the region forever?
