Remoteness thus far has protected this Oregon treasure, says Eugene resident David Funk, of bell + funk marketing firm in an op-ed. But even
remoteness may not be enough to preserve these wild lands if we don’t
act now to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands.

Bend businesses support the efforts of Portland-based footwear company KEEN Inc. and several nonprofits to advocate for federal protection of the Owyhee Canyonlands.

Oregon's Owyhee Canyonlands would see 2.5 million acres permanently protected under a proposal put forward Wednesday by a coalition of local, regional and national conservation organizations.

The executive director of The Conservation Alliance, a Bend-based group that represents outdoor industry companies, applauds efforts to protect the Owyhee Canyonlands.
