Lay the Foundation... Literally!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: The San Diego River Park Foundation

Support vital restoration efforts in the headwaters of the San Diego River by helping to build a nursery for native plants! You can help lay the foundation for a hoop house nursery at Boulder Creek Preserve outside of Descanso, CA.

The nursery will allow us to propagate and care for native plants, which will be used to restore the Boulder Creek Preserve site, improving the health of the wildlife and aquatic ecosystem!

Together, we will build a foundation, lay out weed cloth, fill in and tamp decomposed granite, install the fittings for hoops and have fun while doing it!

All tools and supplies will be provided. If you have a favorite pair of gloves feel free to bring them, otherwise we will make sure you have everything you need to have a fun and productive day. Community service hours can be verified. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. Construction experience preferred, but not required.

For more information and to RSVP, please call (619) 297-7380 or email volunteer@sandiegoriver.org.

Please note: You will be expected to make your own arrangements for travel to and from the location site. There will be a portable restroom on site.
