MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE – Work Party Saturday, October 8

Join with members of the Mojave National Preserve Conservancy and the National Park Service to remove another section of abandoned, barbed-wire fence from the Mojave National Preserve.  We will meet in the Kelso Depot parking lot at 9 a.m. and work through the afternoon.  A Sunday morning project is possible with sufficient interest.  Bring leather work gloves, water, sun screen, a hat, and lunch.  Layers of clothing are best as temperatures can be unpredictable.  Tools will be provided.  The group campground at Hole-In-The-Wall (with water and vault toilets) is reserved for Friday and Saturday nights.  Sturdy tents with strong stakes are advisable in case of high winds.  Directions are available at the Mojave Preserve’s website..  Contact Sid Silliman at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) regarding safety precautions for the weekend and to RSVP.
