inaugural <strong><em>Advocate Outdoors</em></strong> event in the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument. We convened a group of passionate advocates and community leaders from member companies as well as grantee and partner organizations to explore this remarkable landscape and learn about the importance of its protection. The <strong><em>Advocate Outdoors</em></strong> field events are designed to connect TCA鈥檚 member companies to priority landscapes and local partners dedicated to their needed protection. </p> <p>This first <strong><em>Advocate Outdoors</em></strong> event aligned with an exciting milestone in the campaign to designate the Chuckwalla National Monument. That morning in D.C., Senators Padilla and Butler and Representative Ruiz <a href="https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-butler-ruiz-introduce-legislation-and-call-on-president-biden-to-establish-the-chuckwalla-national-monument/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced legislation</a> to create the Chuckwalla National Monument and expand Joshua Tree National Park. While the campaign is still pursuing designation through the Antiquities Act, this marker bill shows the commitment and leadership from local and state officials to protect this land.聽</p> <p><strong>Exploring the California Desert</strong><br>Our journey began with a hike through Painted Canyon in the Mecca Hills Wilderness, one of the jewels of the proposed national monument. As we traversed the winding paths, we were surrounded by towering rock formations adorned with vibrant hues, a testament to the geological wonders sculpted by millions of years of erosion. Led by local naturalists and conservation leaders, Colin and Sendy Barrows, we engaged in discussions about the importance of preserving Chuckwalla’s unique ecosystem, which provides habitat for a diverse array of plant and animal species, including rare desert flora and fauna. We were even lucky enough to even see a Chuckwalla lizard, the proposed monument鈥檚 namesake.</p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" data-id="69427" src="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2-683x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-69427" srcset="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2-533x800.jpg 533w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-2.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Annie Nyborg</figcaption></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" data-id="69426" src="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-69426" srcset="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-300x200.jpg 300w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-768x512.jpg 768w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-600x400.jpg 600w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-900x600.jpg 900w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill-800x533.jpg 800w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Chuckwalla-Ben-MacAskill.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Ben MacAskill</figcaption></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" data-id="69425" src="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-69425" srcset="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-900x600.jpg 900w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3-800x534.jpg 800w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-3.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Annie Nyborg</figcaption></figure> </figure> <p><strong>Creating Community Connections</strong><br>One of the highlights of our journey was the opportunity to connect with local on-the-ground partners who are actively involved in advocating for the designation of Chuckwalla National Monument.

profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to experience the beauty of the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument and applaud the companies who are taking a stand for the conservation of this critical landscape. In addition to the member companies who visited the landscape, there are <a href="https://p2a.co/jgppiwg?resetcookie=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly 60 companies nation-wide</a> who support the designation of Chuckwalla National Monument. These companies know that protecting these public lands is good for people, access to the outdoors, and contribute to a thriving outdoor economy. By harnessing the collective influence, resources, and expertise of companies, we can amplify the call for conservation and ensure the preservation of this remarkable landscape for future generations.聽</p> <p><strong>Thank you to our sponsors:</strong><br><a href="https://www.peakdesign.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peak Design</a>, Jack Wolfskin, Backpacker’s Pantry, Pure Brewing, Best Day, Ramble Wine, <a href="https://guenergy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GU</a>, and <a href="https://www.outdoortechnology.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outdoor Tech</a>!聽</p> <p><strong>Thank you to our on-the-ground partners:</strong><br>CalWild, Conservation Lands Foundation, Cactus to Clouds, and COFEM.</p> <div style="height:1px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-69432" srcset="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-600x400.jpg 600w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-900x600.jpg 900w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5-800x534.jpg 800w, https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chuckwalla-annie-nyborg-5.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Annie Nyborg</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>More information:</strong><br>Learn more about the efforts to designate Chuckwalla National Monument <a href="https://protectchuckwalla.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
