California senator wants to protect Mojave Desert acres
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein will introduce legislation today to protect nearly a million acres of land in the Mojave Desert by creating two new national monuments in the California desert, with the Mojave Trails National Monument covering 941,000 acres between Needles and Barstow, and the smaller Sand to Snow National Monument, would protect 134,000 acres between between Joshua Tree National Park and the San Bernardino National Forest in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
