Many of you who have been reading my blog over the past year know that my job has morphed due to the pandemic; instead of leading group trail work trips, I went to work creating a program to give our volunteers an opportunity to contribute to ONDA‘s desert conservation work.

I had no idea how the program would turn out or what the interest would be, but some amazing volunteers worked with me as my coworkers and I put these projects together, and we got some great stuff done! We even hired a wonderful intern this fall to help me process all the data that folks were collecting for us.
