With transportation being the #1 roadblock to accessing nature, a quick day trip to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Mt San Jacinto State Park is something many of us take for granted. Friends of the Desert Mountains is delighted to be able to share the wo...

    I was deeply saddened to learn of Buford's passing. He was an amazing man. I'm proud to have called him my friend. Craig Yamasaki

    The trail mentioned is a loss ,the local quads are even running night races throughout the Desert Edge area ,in fact the activities usually run all week after 5 and all hours of weekend! I don't think the wildlife has a chance. The noise is awful and it seems like it is OK to break the law .

    Love this man and all he did for us and the desert. He was my first teacher after I moved to Palm Desert and started COD in the late 80's and I always admired his passion for conservation.

    Are they edible?

    • @FriendsoftheDesertMountains
      @FriendsoftheDesertMountains 2 года назад

      The stems are prickly, so you'd need to cook them a lot like regular mustard greens. Our expert here says the whole plant is edible, but it may not be so palatable. Test your preparations and let us know what you think.
