NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY 

Since 1994, 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 28, Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) and Positional Projects are partnering with BLM, Blightsites, Desert Cleanse Project, Element Society, High Desert Keepers, Landers Homestead Valley Association,  and NEEF to clean up the remarkable Giant Rock freestanding boulder in Landers, CA. Activities will include trash clean-up and graffiti removal, and lunch will be provided. 

Volunteer at Giant Rock!

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. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, and water, 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. 

More information about the event is available at the registration link shown below. (Be sure to register on this GOPS site, too.)
