Come help manage invasive plants in Mission Bay to protect endangered birds!
We will be working to remove invasive plants from Stony Point. We’re doing this to promote nesting by the California Least Tern (an endangered species) and to create space for native coastal dune plants.
The event will be on Sunday, October 1st from 9:30 am-12:30 pm. The meeting location will be on the west side of Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. Park along the fence with the entrance gate to the dog park. Enter through the dog park and continue walking west with the water and sand berm on your righthand side. Continue west through a second fence until reaching San Diego Audubon CA Least Tern Nesting Site signs.
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!
For questions/directions/RSVP: Call or email our Restoration Program Manager, Megan Flaherty at flaherty@sandiegoaudubon.org or (858) 273-7800 x106.

Description
San Diego Audubon Society (SDAS) is a chapter of the National Audubon Society, an organization founded in 1905 to stop the slaughter of wild birds for their feathers.
