Since 1962, The Joshua Tree National Park Association has served as the bridge between supporters and the park.

As the park’s primary nonprofit partner, they help ensure that contributions to conservation, restoration, and education in the park go directly to where the park needs them most. On this Friday’s “Up Close” show host Gary Daigneault will speak with the association’s Executive Director, Jacqueline Guevara, and Program Director Christine Grimes.

Learn about the wide array of benefits they bring to our park this Friday (5/29) at 10:00am and podcast at Z1077fm.com.
