Make a difference at someone's birthday!

We'll train you as a doula who accompanies families through childbirth, providing continuous, non-medical physical care and comfort to the birthing person. Doulas also lend a helping hand with communications between the pregnant person, family, and medical staff. www.sandiegodoulas.org

We serve families at both the Hillcrest and La Jolla hospital facilities of the UCSD Health System.

About UC San Diego Natural Reserve System

Location:

9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92103, US

Mission Statement

The mission of the Natural Reserve System is to contribute to the understanding and wise stewardship of the Earth and its natural systems by supporting university-level teaching, research, and public service at protected natural areas throughout California.

Description

We need Weed Warriors! We protect an area of natural habitat along the coast in La Jolla. Because the area has a history of human disturbance, there are a lot of invasive plants - weeds - that outcompete native plants. The best way to help the native plants thrive is to weed out the invasive species by hand. We have a jovial group that does invasive plant management (weeding) every Friday morning.
