What’s New?
Mine Monitoring
OHA is focused on efforts to prevent environmental degradation and push for corporate accountability for the water quality issues at the Buckhorn Mine site. We use technical and legal avenues to advocate for actions that increase public understanding of pollutant fate and transport and could stem the flow of pollutants from the mine.
OHA’s education program is guided by the belief that increasing awareness of the environment will increase empathy for, appreciation of, and desire to protect nature.
OHA’s restoration program works to restore habitat and ecosystem function of natural environments including streams, wetlands, and forests. We also maintain and build trails so that people are able to access nature with minimal impact to ecosystems.
