The Mojave Desert Land Trust’s Quail Mountain preserve protects nearly 1,000 acres of pristine habitat that functions as a wildlife corridor between desert conservation lands. This land supports a wealth of biodiversity; home to coyotes and bobcats as well as bighorn sheep, the Endangered Mojave desert tortoise, and rodents, birds, and reptiles a-plenty. In the face of increasing pressure from climate change and urban sprawl, wildlife corridors are crucial for the survival of native species – co

On a warm day in early December, members of the hi-desert community were treated to a guided exploration of the merging Colorado and Mojave Desert ecosystems at Whitewater Preserve. Led by Preserve rangers along with MDLT staff and volunteers, participants discussed the surrounding geology while on the lookout for myriad migratory and resident birds commonly found in the canyon. Following the hike and some time spent enjoying the rushing sounds of Whitewater River, lunch underneath the canopy of

Desert rain: a sensory experience. As one traveler once said: “The rain is when everything comes together in the desert.” Sight is not a prerequisite for humans to enjoy a rainy day in the desert, as each rainfall stirs up an aromatic perfume of plant oils and soil compounds to give the air its unmistakable petrichor scent. Raindrops come as a soothing salve in the harshly windy winters and a life-saving relief in the dry, scalding summers; you feel it on your skin. You can taste the cleansed at

These three amigos are frequently seen hamming it up on one of MDLT’s Morongo Basin trail cams, to the great joy of MDLT staff. January through March is coyote mating season in California, so you may see more ‘yote activity than usual in the coming months. Though coyotes typically form a (lifelong!) relationship with one partner, several males sometimes band together on the prowl to find and court a female before peeling off and settling down to form their own pack. Respectable charmers that the

Five am: five coyotes on the prowl. Many may bristle at the thought of coming upon such a sight in the wee morning hours, but the truth is, coyotes are our friends. They keep to themselves, unless lured by unattended food or unfortunately unattended small pets. They sing us to sleep on a quiet desert night. And they’ve adapted quite seamlessly to the encroachment of modern society on the only home they’ve ever known. Coyotes ask for little beyond the freedom to roam. When we protect their habita

The desert is often misconstrued as lifeless to pave the way for development. But as you and I both know, the desert is not a wasteland! It is rich in biodiversity. 🌿 The King Clone creosote in the Mojave Desert is 11,700 years old. It is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. 🌱 More than 2,400 native plant species exist in the California desert, 72 of which are endemic, meaning they live nowhere else on Earth. 🦎 90% of California’s native lizard species are found in the desert. 🐝 The
