Each year the Osoyoos Desert Centre welcomes thousands of visitors from around the world eager to learn about this remarkable and disappearing landscape. In 1999 the Society opened the Osoyoos Desert Centre, a nature interpretive facility that stewards 67 acres of antelope-brush habitat. In the early 1990s a group of concerned citizens eager to protect this invaluable natural heritage formed the Osoyoos Desert Society, a non-profit, charitable organization. On the southern edge of British Columbia’s beautiful Okanagan valley is an extraordinary habitat, the semi-arid, antelope-brush shrub-steppe, one of Canada’s most critically endangered ecosystems.
