Stewards of Coyote Valley was founded by Stephanie Smith and Jay Babcock. In partnership with the Mojave Desert Land Trust, the Stewards of Coyote Valley intend to extend the land area protected by the trust via stewards who maintain parcels that line the edges of the conservation area.

The area of concern is a wildlife corridor, which shares similar qualities to Joshua Tree, just a few miles south. Those who live on or own land in the area can contact the Stewards of Coyote Valley to join their efforts to conserve the land through volunteered stewardship.

Important stewardship activities involve breaking down former roads, building up barriers to prevent the illegal use of off-road vehicles, picking up trash left on hikes, and hosting potlucks for community members to get to know one another and discuss potential projects aligned with the organizations stewardship mission.
