The Mojave Desert Land Trust is teaming up with the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps to conserve and restore Mojave Desert Land Trust properties. The team, known as Gold Two, will clear the properties of debris, and add native plant material such as dead branches and trees to disguise old roads, with the hope that natural decomposition will help the land recover from man-made intrusions. Gold Two will also set up a native plant nursery at the Land Trust’s headquarters in Joshua Tree, with the intent of transplanting the plants in the nearby desert. The Gold Two team will be working in the area through March 15. For more information, visit the Gold Two team table at the Joshua Tree Farmers’ Market on Saturdays.
