Our goal is to bring inspiration and education for 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 monthly Steering Committee meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month @ 5pm at the Hutchinson Room in the Deschutes Public Library - Downtown Bend 

We are also holding a Green and Solar Home Tour!

Please feel free to contact us! highdesert@cascadiagbc.org
