A VIEW TOWARDS THE FUTURE:
PRESERVING & PROTECTING JTRC FOR OUR COMMUNITY & FUTURE GENERATIONS
To preserve and protect the Joshua Tree Retreat Center campus and Lloyd Wright architecture, JTRC applied for and was successfully listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 17, 2023. Aside from recognizing its special significance, the designation affords protections for the property against demolition, redevelopment, or substantial alteration without a thorough environmental review process.
Inspired by you, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center has taken the following steps to make the campus more accessible to our local community:
- Opened the Food for Thought Café to the public for the 1st time in the Center’s history to offer a welcoming space for community members
- Offer affordable wellness classes to provide equitable wellness opportunities for community members regardless of financial situation
- Established the Joshua Tree Folk School to host local partner organizations at no cost, while fostering community-based arts & education programs
- Created the Arts Garden and labyrinth
