The Agate Desert is a prairie located near White City, Oregon, 53 acres (21 ha)[1] of which is protected as the Agate Desert Preserve.[2][3] The area is not in fact a desert as its name suggests; it is so named because of the abundance of agate, petrified wood, jasper, and other minerals found there.[4] Much of the World War II army training base of Camp White was built in the Agate Desert. The Nature Conservancy is working to preserve the Agate Desert as a native Rogue River Valley grassland.[1]
