Revive our 

DEAD LANDS

Thousands of acres in North Dakota have been contaminated & deadened, sterilized by saltwater chemical spills, through decades of careless oil production. 

The aftermath of big oil has destroyed rich farmland and wildlife sanctuaries in western North Dakota. It effects us all. Without a diversity of healthy plants creating oxygen, global warming and climate change continues to significantly increase. The contamination must stop, the soil needs to be renewed to health again. We are the Salted Lands & Water Council, a nonprofit working to move industry and government to action. Let's revive the Dead Lands of North Dakota!

A vision to

REVITALIZE

1. To reclaim thousands of acres of farmland damaged by the oil industry.

2. To return salt-damaged farmland back into production to help feed and nourish the world.

3. To protect and conserve soil and water quality for farmers and rural communities.

4. To provide economic stability to local communities by eliminating the economic liability of salt-contaminated land.

5. To support local communities by developing reclamation expertise creating jobs that will last longer than the oil industry.

Stories of families living through this DEVASTATION

Generations of farm families have depended on the land for survival. Once productive land is made sterile not only the farmers income, but the food chain and the wildlife are devastated. Be inspired and help revive the land. 

All the Latest

Land damaged by oil production must be reclaimed and restored to productive capability. North Dakota’s state government allowed oil companies to produce without clean up and must restore our lands for viable food production. Our dead lands must be revived.
