ADRIAN, Ore. — Ranchers, farmers and other Malheur County residents packed Adrian High School’s gymnasium Oct. 29 to oppose a proposal that would designate 2.5 million acres of the county as a national conservation or wilderness area.
The 500-person crowd was mostly against the Owyhee Canyonlands Conservation Proposal but included a contingent of people from other parts of the state who support it.
