The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service needs assistance in restoring native plant life to the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. Join us for a lovely Fall Sunday morning, where we'll be planting several different native Mojave plant species in different restoration sites around the refuge. Native plants provide critical support to native wildlife, sustain biodiversity, and create a more resilient landscape. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or have never volunteered, this project is a great and easy way to give back. Your help will support the largest portion of protected land in the State of Nevada. Please RSVP on our Website as well(https://www.nevadawilderness.org/southern_nevada_calendar_of_events)
