National Public Lands Day Volunteer Clean-Up at the Poste Homestead in
Wonder Valley

- Free T-Shirts, Breakfast, BBQ Lunch and Music Festival

On Saturday, September 26th, the Barstow Office of the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is organizing a large volunteer clean-up of the Poste
Homestead Natural and Historical Area in Wonder Valley as part of
their annual National Public Lands Day (NPLD)
(www.nationalpubliclandsday.org). The BLM is partnering with local
organizations including the Mojave Desert Land Trust, the Morongo
Basin Conservation Association, the 29 Palms Historical Society,
Community ORV Watch and ORV groups and vendors that promote
responsible recreation including Hutchins Motor Sports of Yucca
Valley.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the clean-up and each volunteer
will receive a free T-shirt, a breakfast of coffee, tea and pastries,
BBQ lunch and live music at The Palms Bar and Restaurant at 8131 Amboy
Road in Wonder Valley located about 10 miles east of 29 Palms.

The Poste Homestead Natural and Historical Area is located off of
Chadwick Road between Amboy Road and Highway 62 in Wonder Valley.
Over 100 volunteers will help remove trash, protect 100 year-old adobe
ruins, erect signs and place barriers to protect sensitive habitat and
historical resources from illegal off-road vehicle activity. Local
groups have been working to protect this historical and natural
resource that is home to threatened wildlife species and magnificent
displays of wildflowers in the spring.

The clean-up begins at 7:30am with pastries, coffee and tea at the
parking lot of The Palms Bar and Restaurant. Volunteers will be
shuttled from the parking lot to the Poste Homestead site, about 4
miles to the east. After the clean-up, a free BBQ lunch and free live
music concert will be provided back at The Palms Restaurant .
Organizations are invited to table at the program. Everyone is
invited to participate at this fun and exciting event.
