On 4/23/22 more than 30 volunteers organized by BMCP and the Mojave Desert Land Trust participated in an Earth Day Stewardship event here at the Preserve. Participants pulled invasive plants, hauled brush, picked up trash and more. Thank you to Burrtec for donating a garbage bin and to MDLT for organizing this event!
