concerned, informed, & empowered since 1992
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.
We have filed a clean water act citizen suit against the mining companies.
Education
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.
Upcoming Event: Saturday, 9/23 at 10am Lost Lake Moss Walk with Erica Heinlen. Reserve your spot by sending an email to: info@okanoganhighlands.org
Restoration
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.
