The event this weekend was a huge success! We had 30 people out
for a presentation on the desert tortoise (the famous Mojave Max
even came out for a visit in the 100+ degree heat), an educational
hike, some trash pick up, lunch and a BEC presentation. We had three
team leaders (two of them new) helping to work the group during
the hike and lunch to sign them up for house parties and neighborhood
events. Of the participants only 5 of them weren’t new faces
so the word is getting out!
In addition we had wonderful lifesavers in Howard and Ursula Booth – both long time Club members and activists within the wilderness community. Thirty minutes before the event started the volunteer interpreter for the day cancelled leaving us with no one knowledgeable enough about the history of the area, the geology, the plant life and the threats to the area to lead the hike. Howard and Ursula kindly stepped in an led the hike with style! Everyone was thrilled at the end and couldn’t get enough of the knowledge the couple had.
