Thank you for joining us and for helping support our organization and our mission.

Help us protect Avi Kwa Ame's 506,000 acres of fragile desert ecosystem and cultural sites, while developing and maintaining resources for the public (like parking and camp site demarcation, area clean ups, trailhead info, directional signage and maps) throughout the monument. 

Support our work in bringing the monument's stories to life, through professional research, developing interpretive signage and displays, oral history projects, and our yearly history, science and nature journal, The Searchlight Gold Beam.

Public lands are currently under threat, and we work hard to engage the public and our representatives in protecting our national monument and its resources. Support this important work to safeguard Avi Kwa Ame for future generations. 

Help us on the journey of transforming Walking Box Ranch into a well-maintained and informative historical site, and a visitors center for the monument. We have a long way to go with repairs, maintenance and creating interpretive resources for the public. 

Avi Kwa Ame is blessed with beautiful dark night skies and views of the Milky Way Galaxy. Help us protect this valuable resource for the future as we apply to become an International Dark Sky Park. This project includes regularly hosting astronomy events, measuring light levels, creating dark sky viewing areas around the monument, and educating the public on the role darkness plays in the health of plants, animals, and ecosystems.

Support our monthly Walking Box ranch tours and history, science, arts and nature events in the monument.
