Desert Institute Sponsorship

Desert Institute is not a school in itself; rather, we contribute to the national park’s education and interpretation programming goals. Throughout the year, we offer field classes, recreational adventures, and social events that span a wide spectrum of disciplines and formats. Natural science courses such as geology, bird and wildflower identification, and nature photography make up the backbone of our programming––however, the desert also supports an abundance of cultural activities, which are just as much our identity and as valuable as the wild lands of the park. Our programming works to articulate and animate the rich resources of not only the national park, but of our surrounding desert environs and the community of people that make Joshua Tree the unique place it is. All proceeds from courses and Desert Institute activities go right back into the park.
