“Friends of the Owyhee helps people fall in love with the beautiful, irreplaceable public treasure that is the Owyhee Canyonlands. We work collaboratively with a community of stakeholders toward a common goal: to ensure the Owyhees' unique ecological, cultural and recreational resources are protected for future generations to experience and enjoy, forever.”
Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation is helping Friends of the Owyhee increase local community engagement through targeted outreach and programs that promote responsible stewardship and sustainable recreation. This funding will also support FOTO in expanding its national and local supporter base and enhance the organization’s capacity to advocate for the region’s conservation. Additionally, the grant will help FOTO expand environmental education programs in Malheur County, with the goal of fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Owyhee’s natural and cultural heritage among children.
