Protect public lands in the Owyhee Canyonlands by designating wilderness areas and managing local resources.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Oregon Owyhee Wilderness and Community Protection Act?
The Oregon Owyhee Wilderness and Community Protection Act is currently tracked under H.R. 6777, which has been held in the House Committee on Natural Resources since December 16, 2025. The House Committee on Natural Resources must act next to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to hold a vote. Given that no action has occurred on this bill since December 16, 2025, the lack of committee movement remains the primary barrier to progress.
