👻👻👻

Debate. Is. Over.

We will be taking no further questions at this time.

Before you ghost us, let us say this, while visiting public lands, practice “ghost travel” – aka, Leave No Trace.

👻 Dispose of waste properly. You ever seen a ghost litter banana peels, tissues, or cigarette butts? No, because they put it in the garbage.

😲 Leave what you find, whether it’s a rock, flower, or artifact. The only thing a ghost takes is your breath away.

🦬 Respect wildlife. You ever seen a ghost feeding trail mix to a squirrel or standing ten feet from a bison? No, they have too much respect for people’s spirit animals.

💚 Minimize your impact. There’s a reason why this picture is the first time you’ve seen concrete evidence of a ghost. It’s because they are masters at Leave No Trace. Help conserve your public lands by minimizing your footprint and utilizing sustainable outdoor practices.

“You ever feel prickly things on the back of your neck?”— The Sixth Sense

Strange, otherworldly, and bizarre, the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) makes the perfect spooky plant for October. With twisted branches and spiky spines, these trees seem to grow randomly from all sides with no reason or rhyme. But, there is actually a method to their madness.

Joshua trees branch using something called a “dichotomous system.” When a flower grows and dies at the end of a Joshua tree’s stalk, branches split off and extend from the end. These new growths will stretch out and point to wherever they can find the strongest source of sunlight. They’ll continue to grow until those stalks flower and more branches sprout from there!

Each branch of the Joshua tree forms dense clusters of leaves that are dagger-like in shape. This pointed shape helps funnel rainwater from the spiky tips down to the trunks during storms. The trunks will absorb the water and store it for long periods of time during the summer.

You may notice some Joshua trees grow like straight stalks; these trees have never bloomed– which is why they are branchless!
