High Desert Voices November 2026

Here’s the High Desert Voices November 2026 newsletter for your reading pleasure. Lots of nice photos as well! This newsletter is published by and for volunteers at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. I’ve been working there as a volunteer since 2013.

Articles this month include one about the North American Porcupine Project. There’s another article about my recent visit to Lava River Cave  and the final article is about The Secret Life of a Pinecone. A calendar of upcoming events and exhibitions is on the last page.

Please enjoy the High Desert Voices November 2026 issue!
