We have a great hiking season in the works, plus birding walks, 4WD trips, easy walks, stargazing, full moon walks, nature journaling, and an outstanding lecture series on a very wide range of topics.  It won't be that long before the temperatures come down and the desert once again becomes a welcoming place.  If you'd like to be involved in leading activities or giving lectures on whatever your specialty might be, just send us an email.  abdnhaprograms@gmail.com
The Anza-Borrego Desert is a land of many faces, where the twists and turns of each canyon reveal a unique charm and beauty. From the colorful Borrego badlands east of Borrego Springs to the forested slopes of the Laguna mountains, and the desert wildflower blooms that follow the rains of winter, diverse plants and animals have adapted to many different life zones.   The desert is a harsh land, but life is everywhere.

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
is home to the largest desert state park in the United States, offering outstanding desert hiking and camping, biking, desert flowers and plants, birdingreptile and amphibians, and fascinating geology and photography, along with the warm sunshine of Borrego Springs on a winter's day.  And in the evening, there are the stars of the desert night sky.  Borrego Springs is an international dark sky community. .
The Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association 
(ABDNHA "ABNA")
