Come help manage invasive plants in Mission Bay to protect endangered birds! This is an exciting opportunity on an otherwise off-limits island! We will be working to remove invasive plants from FAA Island. We’re doing this to promote nesting by the California Least Tern (an endangered species) and create space for native coastal dune plants. The event will be on March 8, 2015 from 9:30am-12:30pm. Depending on the number of volunteers, we will either be meeting at the De Anza public boat launch ramp off of E. Mission Bay Drive (see http://goo.gl/maps/n3Tqq) or Seaforth boat rentals off of W. Mission Bay Drive (see https://goo.gl/maps/SJY49). A boat will shuttle volunteers onto the island so please do not be late as we cannot return for late arrivals. RSVPs are required as they determine location. Volunteers should wear long pants and sturdy shoes, and sun/rain protection as weather indicates. Work gloves will be provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own pair if available. We’ll have water, but don't forget to bring a reusable water bottle for refills! Please note that there are no bathroom facilities on the island and due to its difficult accessibility, we cannot accommodate early departures. Questions/Directions/RSVP: Call or email our Conservation Project Coordinator, Christina Hirt. hirt@sandiegoaudubon.org (858) 273-7800 x106.
