Thursday’s Hi-Desert Nature Museum’s Brown Bag lecture is called “Preserving Habitat for Rockhounds in the Mojave Desert.” Since the mid-19th century, rockhounds have come to California’s deserts in search of collectable minerals. Presented by Lisbet Thoresen, this presentation showcases some of the Mojave’s collectable minerals and where they are found. Thoresen is an advocate of preserving recreational opportunities for rockhounding on public lands. The lecture starts at noon and admission is $5 or free for museum members. Beverages will be served. The Hi-Desert Nature Museum is located at 57090 Twentynine Palms Highway in Yucca Valley.
