FANs Farewell Barbecue Party
Picture

On May 17, 2025, FANs members gathered at Crooked River Ranch's MacPherson Park to bid a bittersweet farewell to our organization. Despite the rainy weather, a good turnout of Friends and Neighbors came together to celebrate the years of accomplishments our small, but mighty, group has undertaken in helping to protect our wild and scenic part of the Oregon high desert. As we turn over the reins to the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA), we are optimistic that our original mission will continue to live on for future generations.
