Volunteering deepens a connection to the land
As a volunteer land steward, Wendy is responsible for MDLT’s 470-acre spectacular Flat Top Mesa property. Land steward volunteers are trained and help monitor MDLT protected lands by visiting assigned areas periodically, conducting visual site inspections, and collecting simple data to keep record of land changes or management concerns.
“I’m a ranger for a 680-acre parcel of gorgeous land”
I moved here a few years ago to experience the natural beauty of the Mojave Desert. When an opportunity to help preserve these beautiful lands appeared, I became a Mojave Desert Land Trust volunteer and Community Lands Ranger. I have a 680-acre parcel of gorgeous land that I am privileged to monitor. It has some heavily used areas, and some quite isolated areas. I love to run the trails and view nature in all its splendor, and help others to enjoy it as well. I help others understand why restrictions on pets and off-trail activities exist, and how they can help us preserve this land and its wildlife.
