Join us for a stewardship day at a desert spring in the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument. This spring is a quiet but important part of the landscape, providing water and habitat in an otherwise dry environment. We’ll spend the day cleaning up trash around the spring. It’s light, hands-on work and a great way to spend time in a remote and meaningful place. Desert springs like this support a surprising amount of life, and even small efforts help keep them functioning for wildlife and future visitors.

This project is supported in partnership with the Lincoln Dynamic Foundation, whose support is helping restore multiple springs across southern Nevada this year.

Come out, spend a day outside, and help care for a special place.
