Veterans and active-duty servicemembers are invited to a special volunteer orientation at the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) on Monday, April 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The activity is being held as part of the Force of Nature program and includes a tour of MDLT headquarters, their Native Plant Restoration Nursery, and the Mojave Desert Seed Bank. Participants will have the chance to learn more about desert conservation, become a registered MDLT volunteer, and find out about upcoming activities tailored for veterans and active-duty servicemembers.
Force of Nature offers uplifting outdoor activities and volunteer opportunities for veterans and active-duty servicemembers. This project is made possible through the Veterans and Nature Grant Program, from the National Environmental Education Foundation in partnership with the USDA Forest Service.
The Mojave Desert Land Trust says that the hi-desert volunteer community contributed over 3,400 hours of service across a range of projects including stewardship, seed cleaning, native plant propagation, administration, and outreach.
Lunch and Force of Nature swag will be provided for all registered participants. You can register at this link: https://secure.everyaction.com/vwQqLzm2OUaTiTuU4PVT3g2
