The Morongo Basin Open Space Group will host its regular bimonthly meeting on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. The meeting program will focus on regional trails and connector opportunities in the Morongo Basin and a pilot community trails project being undertaken in the City of Twentynine Palms. Anne Dove from the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program of the National Park Service will participate, as will representatives from local government agencies, and groups involved in Coachella Valley trails development.
The Morongo Basin Open Space Group was created by local agencies and organizations as a forum to collaboratively protect unique natural landscapes and open spaces in the Basin through regional conservation and land use planning. Protecting the treasures of the Morongo Basin for both residents and visitors helps to keep our desert communities prosperous and vibrant while respecting our night skies, open vistas, and the fragile desert ecosystems of the Basin.
Location: Yucca Room, Yucca Valley Community Center, 57090 29 Palms Highway, at Dumosa Avenue. Time: 1:00 to 3:00 PM.
A portion of the meeting will invite input from local community stakeholders. The meeting is open to the public. For more information on this event, contact Stephanie Weigel at 760.367.5567 or sweigel@sonoran.org.
