Oregon Natural Desert Association

ONDA works to protect, defend and restore public lands and waterways in Oregon's high desert for future generations. Our goal is to see millions of acres of beautiful and ecologically vital public lands permanently protected and home to diverse populations of wildlife. ONDA is the only group dedicated exclusively to the preservation of Oregon’s high desert public lands, and we represent the values of more than 10,000 members and supporters. ONDA's successes include the protection of Oregon’s Badlands and Spring Basin as wilderness areas. ONDA was also instrumental in the creation of Oregon’s first desert wilderness, Steens Mountain Wilderness in 2000.
