After 15 years of advocating for the protection and preservation of our public lands encompassing the middle Deschutes River, lower Crooked River, and lower Whychus Creek areas, Friends and Neighbors of the Deschutes Canyon Area (FANs) was dissolved as a non-profit organization in June, 2025.
However, we are pleased that several of our key projects will continue to be addressed through the work of the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA), and are optimistic that our original mission of advocacy, stewardship and education will continue to live on for future generations.
FANs encourages you to become a member of ONDA. You can learn more about their conservation activities at ONDA.org.
Thank you to all who have supported and encouraged us over the years and in so many ways. We are proud of all that we achieved and hope you will continue to speak out for our precious public lands in the high desert of Central Oregon.
With gratitude,
FANs Board of Directors
