The Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association has announced plans to use the recent award of $10,000 from the EcoAmbassadors competition to expand the ABDNHA Desert Exploration program (Anza-Borrego Just for Kids) with development of an outdoor learning center, a beautiful garden of desert plants and bird habitat on property ABDNHA owns adjacent to it's headquarters building, one block west of Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs. Situated among mature palo verde trees, the outdoor learning center will be a place of beauty, education, inspiration, and relaxation. It will extend the Desert Exploration Hands-on and Online program by providing a place where school children, families, visitors, and local residents can learn about the desert and enjoy the desert landscape.
ABDNHA says "It is our intention that the ABDNHA Desert Garden will become a community project, something all of Borrego Springs will be proud of. It will also be a place where everyone who voted in the ECO Ambassador campaign can come to see the results of their efforts." ABDNHA plans to get started on the project in the year ahead, using the $10,000 award plus additional donations and in-kind contributions.
