When you join the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association (ABDNHA), you join a community of people who appreciate and enjoy all that Borrego Springs and the Anza-Borrego Desert has to offer. 

ABDNHA members value education for all age groups, value the environment, and understand the need to spread the word about the Anza-Borrego desert, along with its unique culture and history.

Some of our members live in the desert full time. Many visit seasonally or when they can. Others live in distant locations and visit rarely.  In all cases, ABDNHA is their connection with the Anza-Borrego desert, and the desert is a part of their life. 

ABDNHA is a 501c3 independent non-profit educational organization that was created in 1971.  ABDNHA is not affiliated with any other organization.  Donations are tax-deductible.
