Support Your Park

Mojave Desert Land Trust
A non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to preserve large natural areas of the Mojave Desert by reducing the number of privately-owned land parcels, called inholdings, within park boundaries. Reducing inholdings decreases fragmentation of the park lands, preserves intact ecosystems, and allows park visitors to utilize more lands within park boundaries.

Since 2006, the Mojave Desert Land Trust has acquired more than 250 inholding parcels totaling 14,000+ acres within the desert national parks—Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve and Death Valley National Park—through purchase or trade. Acquired inholdings are then donated to the National Park Service. More than 1,000 inholdings remain in these three desert parks.

Make a donation to the Mojave Desert Land Trust. Thanks for your support!

 

Volunteer

Through volunteering at Mojave National Preserve, enthusiastic individuals or couples can become involved in a wide variety of activities and projects. Because Mojave is not near large population centers, most volunteers stay for two to three weeks or longer. Opportunities for local and weekend applicants are available in Kelso and Hole-in-the-Wall areas. Campground RV sites and housing maybe available for longer term volunteers. Learn more...
