The Morongo Basin is surrounded by public lands: Joshua Tree National Park, the Sand to Snow and Mojave Trails National Monuments, Bureau of Land Management lands, as well as preserves and municipal parks. But some people contend that not everyone has equal access to public lands. Managing editor Tami Roleff explains…
Public lands play a key role in America’s identity, but the rules about who has access to public lands are not always reflective of the country’s demographic diversity. The Hi-Desert Nature Museum will hold a free brown bag lecture 6 p.m. Thursday, September 21, in which a panel of experts on public land use will discuss the challenge of equal access, and race, class, and ethnicity. Note the change in time for this lecture.
