Bird Watching at DNWR!
Beautiful weather last weekend provided the perfect opportunity to get local Boys and Girls Club members out watching for birds for the first time! All month they have been learning about Mojave Desert animals, then focusing on birds and their behavior.
Thank you to all of the GON staff and USFWS for their partnership that made this programming a success!

You still have time to sign up for the REI Gear Swap and Gear Drive. Bring in and sell your own used gear to other REI members and outdoor enthusiasts!
REI will provide space and fixtures, tables and clothing bars in addition to a sampling of food and drinks. There will also be outdoor games with prizes for participants.
This event is FREE to shoppers. Only $20 to sellers.
You can sell any of your outdoor gear: bikes, skis, tents, packs, sleeping bags, stoves, flashlights, camping gear, clothing, footwear, etc. If you're not interested in selling, but have stuff that you want to donate, you can bring it in that day! REI's April outdoor clothing and gear drive is the perfect way to help your old gear find a new home, while supporting great organizations.

We are so thankful to all the volunteers who came out to help!
