San Diego River Mouth Habitat Restoration - San Diego Climate Week
5156w W Point Loma Blvd, 5156w W Point Loma Blvd, San Diego, CA 92107, USA, San Diego, CA, USSIGN UP HERE
Please Join SDRPF and Surfrider in celebration of San Diego Climate Week and get outside, immerse yourself in nature, and make a positive impact for the San Diego River! Join a community of like-minded volunteers working to restore the San Diego River Estuary- a highly sensitive habitat that is home to several endangered species. By removing invasive plants, you’ll directly support the return of native pollinators and wildlife, prevent erosion, improve water quality, and protect endangered species, like the California Least Tern. Together, we will create a healthier, more accessible natural space for the entire community to enjoy. This is a huge effort and a great opportunity for those looking to try out field work, connect with fellow nature lovers, make a meaningful difference for a critical and fragile ecosystem, and explore the beautiful estuary habitat! We’d love to see you there!***
What to Expect: Many of these invasive plant species are small annuals that require hand pulling, so be prepared to get dirty. Each participant will also have the opportunity to plant a native plant. All necessary tools will be provided, but feel free to bring your own gloves if preferred.
Who Would Be Perfect for the Team: We welcome individuals from all walks of life! Retired folks can use their time and experience to contribute to the environment, while students seeking hands-on experience in habitat restoration can gain valuable knowledge and skills. Families are also encouraged to participate, as our activities are a great way to bond and instill a sense of stewardship for the natural world in children. If you are passionate about making a difference and want to help restore the San Diego River, you would be an ideal fit for our team.
Please note: The meeting location is NEAR the address listed. We will meet at the small grassy area between the main parking lot, the San Diego River Bikeway, and Ocean Villa Inn. [Google Pin Location]Here are a few tips to help you prepare for the event:
