    Headwaters Habitat Restoration

    May 20, 2023  8:30 am - 2:30 pm

    Come enjoy the great outdoors and help the River Park Foundation to restore an oak woodland along a free-flowing mountain stream. Volunteers can help create habitat for wildlife and keep water clean by removing invasive plants, watering native plants, and more! This is a great opportunity to give back by getting your hands dirty, learn about local ecology and habitat restoration science, look for wildlife, and spend time in nature.

    This event takes place at Boulder Creek Preserve, near Descanso (about 1.5 hr drive from central San Diego).

    Please wear long pants, close-toed shoes (tennis shoes or hiking boots) and layers. Bring AT LEAST 32 oz. of water to drink and a snack. Please be aware that this is a remote location with no cell service. Also be aware that you may be working near poison oak.

    This event occurs on the 1st, 4th, and 5th Saturday of every month from 8:30am to 2:30pm. All supplies will be provided. Community service hours may be verified. For full location information and to RSVP please contact volunteer@sandiegoriver.org or call (619) 297-7380.
