On Sunday, October 15th, from 9:30 am -12:30 pm, join San Diego Audubon as we remove invasive plants from North Fiesta Island to protect native sand dune plants and restore nesting habitat of the endangered California Least Tern!
The meeting location will be on the northern edge of Fiesta Island in Mission Bay.
- Once on Fiesta Island: at the fork, go right. Do not follow signs to the San Diego Youth Aquatic Center, just continue down the road. After about a quarter mile, park on the right hand side, off the road.
- If you start to curve left and wrap around the island, you’ve gone too far. You’ll be looking for a chain link fence with a gate in it and signs that say "California least tern nesting area". Park along the road here.
Wear long pants, sturdy shoes, and sun/rain protection. Tools and water will be provided. Bring a reusable water bottle for refills.
For questions, RSVPs, or directions contact our Restoration Program Manager, Megan Flaherty, at flaherty@sandiegoaudubon.org, or 858-273-7800 x 106.
