The Morongo Basin Conservation Association has been hosting a desert-wise landscape tour for many years. Last year, the 10th annual tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 Desert-Wise Landscape Tour has been totally reimagined as a free, virtual experience. The six videos have been edited into a film, “Living in Harmony with Desert Landscapes,” showing private sites in Twentynine Palms, Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Yucca Valley, and Morongo Valley. The film showcases exceptional local properties where drought-tolerant, native landscaping flourishes and offers a creative execution seen both at ground level and from high above in spectacular drone footage. The 2021 desert-wise landscape tour will also be virtual this year; stay tuned for more information. A link to the 2020 film can be found below.
