Jody Phillips talks about Collaboration at OR Dunes NRA
OR DUNES CASE STUDY/VIDEO - COLLABORATION NOT CLOSURE IS KEY
TO SUCCESS AT OCEANO
The Oceano Dunes Access Alliance (ODAA) believes the
newly released 7 minute video from Save the Riders Dunes and www.SaveOregonDunes.org can and should be reviewed by government
agencies tasked with managing the Oceano Dunes SVRA for high quality OHV
recreation and related conservation needs.

ODAA continues to urge APCD, State Parks, OHV Commission,
and Coastal Commission to review the mistakes (e.g. construction of man-made
foredune structures and ill-advised vegetation projects) made at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
by government agencies and other stakeholders in a misguided effort to “help”
the dunes.
Today, OHV, conservation groups, and agencies are working
together to manage the Oregon Dunes for future generations. Part of that new effort is to restore (e.g.
remove) man-made foredune structures and invasive vegetation.
ODAA believes that collaboration not closure is the best
model to follow for future OHV and other outdoor recreation activities at
Oceano Dunes SVRA.
ODAA thanks you in advance for reviewing this video and
for your ongoing support of managed high quality OHV recreation and camping
opportunities at Oceano Dunes SVRA.
