APRIL 11 THROUGH 15, 1996 Ward Valley is located 22 miles west of Needles, California, in the beautiful East Mojave desert. Plans are to bury long-lasting and highly dangerous radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants in shallow, unlined trenches above an aquifer and just 18 miles from the Colorado River. Ward Valley is located directly adjacent to the new Mojave National Preserve and is surrounded by five wilderness areas. Area Indian tribes consider Ward Valley sacred homeland and have vowed to defend thier traditions, land, water and culture. Ward Valley is critical habitat for the threatened Desert Tortoise. Community meals, water and sanitation provided. Come prepared for desert camping. We will walk lightly on the land, protect critical habitat, and leave no traces. We are asking for a $15 donation in advance, $20 at the site. NO ONE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS. For more info, registration forms and to volunteer, Call: (415) 752-8678 (714) 547-6282 (800) 454-3016 (619) 326-6267
