The Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) Center for Conservation Initiatives, located two miles west of downtown Joshua Tree, is situated in a wildlife linkage corridor with a view of our Gateway Parcel Section 33 where we are uniquely positioned to carry forth our mission from a place that accurately reflects and effectively represents our organization’s vision and its commitment to the Mojave Desert ecosystem. We envision our Headquarters as a center for voices interested in all aspects of desert conservation. A place for thoughtful intelligent dialogue, conservation leadership, environmental education and community engagement.
