Agate Desert

The Agate Desert is a prairie located Jackson County, Oregon, United States, in the area of White City. Much of the World War II army training base Camp White was built in the Agate Desert. The Nature Conservancy is working to preserve part of the Agate Desert as a native Rogue River Valley grassland. The area's vernal pools are home to a rare species of fairy shrimp.
