Friends Of Joshua Tree has been chosen as one of 3 grantees being promoted throughout Southern California as part of the ‘Loving Our Local Outdoors‘ initiative, a national REI program letting customers decide how much to support local conservation and advocacy groups. Over a four week period, REI members visiting the stores will help decide how to invest $1 million. The Member Grant Voting runs from today (March 8) through April 8, 2019. 

This is an amazing opportunity to show your support for FOJT and JTNP and the entire climbing community by visiting your nearest REI store and dropping your token in the FOJT Bucket (buy anything, an energy bar or magazine or whatever you need). REI Members get the token at the register. 

Here is the program description on the REI Blog 

and what you’ll see in the stores starting today!
