This grant, offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California, is a continuation of an agreement with the Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee (DTPC). Its primary purpose is to fund a Naturalist who will provide essential environmental education to visitors at the Desert Tortoise Natural Area (DTNA) each spring. This public outreach initiative significantly aids the BLM in managing the federally listed desert tortoise. The BLM, in collaboration with DTPC, will actively support the maintenance of an Interpretive Center and provide living quarters for the Naturalist. Furthermore, BLM will define the Naturalist’s duties, participate in major decisions, store the Discovery Center motor home, and ensure regulatory compliance with a law enforcement ranger. The public will directly benefit from comprehensive information about the desert tortoise and the Mojave desert ecosystem.
