Welcome to the High Desert Branch of Cascadia!
Our goal is to bring inspiration, leadership and education about sustainable building to Central Oregon and the High Desert. As the most recent Cascadia Branch to form, we are excited to engage our region with events and activities to keep the sustainable building spirit alive and growing in our area.
We hold our Branch meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month @ 5pm at the Hutchinson Room in the Deschutes Public Library - Downtown Bend. All members, volunteers and friends of the High Desert Branch are welcome.
We are planning the 2012 Green and Solar Home Tour and are currently looking for a Co-Coordinator for the Tour. Please contact us if you are interested.
