NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY
|
For 30 years, volunteers have come together on the fourth Saturday of every September to participate in stewardship projects to celebrate National Public Lands Day (NPLD); a day dedicated to service and supporting our cherished public lands. In the last decade, over one million volunteers have supported NPLD projects nationwide. You too, can be a part of this widespread volunteer movement.
On Saturday September 23, MDLT is partnering with Positional Projects, Blight Sites, Bighorn Desert View Water Agency, Desert Cleanse Project, Element Society, High Desert Keepers, Landers Community Association, Refuel Your Fun, and NEEF to clean up the remarkable Giant Rock freestanding boulder in Landers, CA. Activities will include trash clean-up, graffiti removal, and a history walk utilizing augmented reality. Click the button below to sign up!

Another opportunity to show your love and support of public lands by going outdoors and helping to clean-up and restore Giant Rock and surroundings.
Bags, gloves, water, and lunch will be provided by Positional Projects, Mojave Desert Land Trust and other sponsors. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, and sturdy shoes. Don't forget your refillable water container, snacks, and sun protection. 4x4 vehicles strongly recommended to access cleanup site.
Volunteers gather at Giant Rock at 9 AM—about an hour and 15 minute drive from our Palm Springs meeting place.
Join us for another #storiesandstewardship cleanup and history walk with augmented reality heritage exhibits sharing stories of the Great Stone. Bring your smart device!
