Mojave Desert Land Trust protects the Mojave Desert ecosystem and its scenic and cultural resource values.

The California Desert Vision
It is the year 2030. The California Desert is a vital ecosystem of interconnected, permanently protected scenic and natural areas that host a diversity of native plants and wildlife. Views and vistas are broad. The air is clear, the water clean, and the night skies dark. Cities and military facilities are compact and separated by large natural areas.
Local residents, visitors, land managers, and political leaders value the unique environment in which they live and work. They understand the natural processes and cultural resources of the California Desert as well the impacts of global climate change upon the Desert ecosystem and collaborate on land use and management activities that allow for adaptation under changing climactic conditions and protect the California Desert for future generations.

Public Comments
The Land Trust’s work includes making public comments to local councils, planning commissions, state and federal agencies on certain planning and development proposals. We do this in the spirit of supporting planning that is protective of our natural resources. Public comments are one of the ways we protect conservations’ investments that we make to benefit the public.

Strategic Plan
Mojave Desert Land Trust’s Strategic Plan is a detailed document that sets the goals and guidelines for our work. A two-part planning process led to the development of the land trust’s Strategic Plan. We first facilitated the California Desert Vision process with desert land managers and resource experts. Next, we developed our Strategic Plan that included an overall vision with specific goals for desert resource protection, along with a set of maps indicating key areas that require protection. Major goals include:
- Land Conservation and Stewardship
- Education and Outreach
- Collaboration
- Funding
- Organizational Development
For a complete version of the strategic plan, please contact us.
How We Work
Mojave Desert Land Trust uses conservation tools to preserve the fragile desert, such as:
- Acquisition
- Conservation easements
- Education and outreach to raise awareness
- Volunteer programs for stewardship and restoration
