The Safford Field Office is planning on having our annual NPLD at the BLM's Dankworth Village. This site was developed back in the early 1990's as part of the BLM's Heritage Education initiative and has sat in disrepair for many years. The goal is to restore the exhibits and dwellings, perform trail maintenance, and repair signage as much as we can.

Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Ridgecrest Field Office will be celebrating the 31st annual National Public Lands Day (NPLD) and the 30th anniversary of the California Desert Protection Act (CDPA) Saturday October 26th, 2024. Yes, we know the timing for our events is a little off from the designation dates but we hope you will still join us. We will be meeting at one of the CDPA designated wildernesses, doing art, offering guided hikes, and having a good old time.
