Happy First Day of Spring: Stop and Smell the Flowers this Spring!

Photos by Bob Wick, BLM.

Enjoy longer days and more sunlight on your public lands, starting with BLM-managed Desert Lily Preserve, which is thriving during this year’s #superbloom! The Desert Lilies are blooming by the tens of thousands here at their namesake reserve. 

Located about 8 miles north of I 10 at Desert Center, the Desert Lilly preserve was first protected in 1968 and is now part of the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Conservation Lands. The hike to the most dense bloom is ½ mile from the BLM parking area, so make sure to be prepared for a walk. Take the time this spring to take a hike and stop and smell the flowers on #yourpubliclands!

All across the southwest, we’re tracking the bloom and hope you’ll join us this spring on your public lands. Be sure to use the hashtag #TracktheBloom and click here for more information.

Autonomous Trap 001

“What you’re looking at is a salt circle, a traditional form of protection—from within or without—in magical practice. In this case it’s being used to arrest an autonomous vehicle—a self-driving car, which relies on machine vision and processing to guide it. By quickly deploying the expected form of road markings—in this case, a No Entry glyph—we can confuse the car’s vision system into believing it’s surrounded by no entry points, and entrap it.”

If your programming made the cut, please notify us TODAY (March 20) if you do not want to be on it. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume yes! We can help find panelists or mods, but only if you tell us.

Our final programming list will then go up later on this week! We need your final programming information (title! panelists! moderator! summary!) by April 15 so it can be put in the program book.
