Tule Springs Fossil Beds was declared a National Monument in 2014 because of the significant natural resources within its boundaries. However, for years the area has been used as a recreational area for target shooting and off-road vehicles as well as an illegal dumping ground for trash. Although steps have been made to curtail activities that damage the area and detract from its beauty, incidents of dumping, driving and shooting in the protected area continue.

Protectors of Tule Springs in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS) is launching a community watch program, “I’m a Protector,” engaging residents and businesses near the monument to join in the effort to preserve the beauty and protect its resources for all to enjoy.Join this important public safety initiative and help protect and preserve the beauty of the natural spaces in your backyard.

 We are always looking for people who what to participate in shaping this monument for future generations. It can be as simple as joining us for a trash collection or an educational event, or even joining the “Protectors of Tule Springs”. Meetings will continue and dates posted here when available.
