Why I’m donating my estate
Donor Relations Manager Kellie Flint sat down with volunteer and donor Patty Domay to find out how she fell in love with the desert and why she's decided to join the Mojave Desert Land Trust's planned giving society, the Desert Stars.
We get by with a little help from our friends
We get by with a little help from our friends – AmeriCorps, that is. Twice in 2023, AmeriCorps National Civilian Conservation Corps (NCCC teams) assisted the Mojave Desert Land Trust with crucial habitat restoration and construction projects for our plant conservation department. Under wide desert skies, the volunteers – some fresh out of high school – aided some of MDLT’s most vital projects and properties, ranging from the remote Desert Springs in Kern County to our very own front door in Joshua Tree.
Data provides rare insights into Mojave summer birds, bees
New data collected by interns offers rare insights into the summer bird populations at two oases in the Mojave Desert. Interns with the Women In Science Discovering Our Mojave (WISDOM) program visited Arrowweed and Bonanza springs over a six-month period to study birds and bumble bees. The community science data collected by the interns is the first of its kind at these two oases.
