On Saturday March 16, the Anza-Borrego Foundation presented the annual "Desert Warrior Awards" to Maurice Bud" Getty and Mark Jorgensen, who have been fighting to conserve Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for the past 60 years.
The "Desert Warrior Award" was established in 2020 to reward individuals for their extraordinary contributions in supporting the mission of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Anza-Borrego Foundation, and the surrounding region. Its purpose is to recognize park supporters for their intentional, long-term, outstanding, and meaningful commitment to protecting the Park and the surrounding region through courageous and mindful efforts.
