Mil-Tree in partnership with the Mojave Desert Land Trust has received a grant for the Force of Nature Programs from the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF). Veterans, active military, and their families are invited to a nature hike this Saturday, May 31.

Saturday’s nature hike is the second event supported by Mil-tree and Mojave Desert Land Trust. The Force of Nature Programs are funded by NEEF, the nation’s leader in lifelong environmental learning.

In March, the group hosted a bird-watching event at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. This time, it’s a hike on the Nancy Karl Trail in Joshua Tree, followed by a light breakfast and a presentation at the Mojave Desert Land Trust headquarters, located at 60124 Twentynine Palms Highway.

The event runs from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 and is open to veterans, active-duty military, and their families. You can get more info and RSVP here: https://www.mil-tree.org/events-1/force-of-nature-hike-1
