Rally Point Details:
In August 2020, a wildfire burned over 44,000 acres (~70 square miles) of one of the densest and largest Joshua tree forests in the world on Cima Dome in the Mojave National Preserve.
I will be heading down from the Sacramento area after work (1600 PST) on 4 Feb. Arriving sometime around midnight.
You do not have to stay for the full event, come down and volunteer what time you can to help make this important project succeed.
