Desert-Wise Landscape Tour Sunday April 22nd

Last year’s MBCA Desert-Wise Living Landscape Tour was a great success, so the Second Annual Landscape Tour has been set for Sunday, April 22.  Spend a few hours enjoying some of the most beautiful and water-wise gardens created by your neighbors in communities across the Morongo Basin, and learn how you can do the same.  The cost is only $5 for members, $10 for others, and special deals are available, combining a tour ticket and MBCA membership.  Read more details and sign up at the MBCA website.  And while you’re there, you might want to read the clever and enthusiastic responses of last year’s post-Tour essay contest winners, also found on MBCA’s home page.

Hold the Mustard Campaign photos from February 18th

Josh Hoines, JTNP Vegetation Branch Chief, shared these pictures of our first mustard pull on 2/18. What a big difference a small group can make in just 3 hours on site. These were taken on park land just beyond Iron Age Road (off Hwy 62 east of 29 Palms). It was a beautiful day, and a very satisfying experience.

Our last pull is scheduled for this Saturday, March 17th, 8AM-1PM. Come on out and get your hands dirty:).
