Protecting habitat one project at a time! 🌿
One of our ACE Pacific West Crews recently supported the Mojave Desert Land Trust at Palisades Ranch by reducing fuels and repairing fencing across this 1,000+ acre conservation property.
This property will also become the future home of a visitor center where the public can learn more about the unique riparian habitat.
Big kudos to the crew for their hard work protecting and improving this special landscape! 🙌
