People Who Collaborate

As the Regional Stewardship Lead with Oregon Desert Land Trust* (ODLT), Brandon Palmer's role is to coordinate management and stewardship activities on the properties that we conserve, which are spread throughout Southeast Oregon. “I also participate in and support regional efforts and partnerships that amplify ODLT’s work on-the-ground. This includes working with partners and volunteers on restoration projects on our properties, leading ecological monitoring efforts, conducting outreach, and facilitating collaborative partnerships with various entities. Most of my work, and ODLT’s as an organization, is focused on meeting the ecological objectives of Trout Creek Ranch, our largest conservation holding by far." READ MORE.
