Welcome
Desert Home
The Mojave and Great Basin Deserts -- home to a wide range of biodiverse communities, inlcuding people. Our aim is to celebrate the diversity of life here and highlight the threats to our desert home. This place is more than a wilderness, it is a living landscape, full of unique plants, animals, fungi, and people.
This site covers the geographic area of Mojave, Colorado, and Great Basin deserts centering around southern California and Nevada, especially the areas ignored by others (but cherished by many): the vast creosote and sagebrush flats, white playas, rocky hills, and pinyon-juniper mountains. These are not "wastelands" but vibrant, rich, beautiful landscapes that we call home.
Come visit and experience the great beauty of spring wildflowers, vast open vistas, bird watching trails, and wildlife viewing.
