Join San Diego Audubon and the Port of San Diego as we restore coastal strand habitat at Emory Cove in South San Diego Bay on Saturday, November 4th from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm! Emory Cove provides important upland habitat for shorebirds and we've been working to restore this habitat with the help of volunteers like you.
We'll be focusing on planting so come prepared in closed-toed shoes and long pants. We will also be providing water, sunscreen and snacks, but remember to bring a reusable water bottle and rain/sun protection.

The main parking lot will be on your left-hand side, and the work site will be a 5-minute walk north of this, following the bike path. Look for the check-in table on your right side. Please note to be very careful while using this path, as bicyclists do go very fast.

There is limited parking available in the small turnout lot at Emory Cove. On the days of Emory Cove events, there will also be parking in the housing development, known as the Cays, just to the north of Emory Cove. More information about parking will be provided via email closer to the day of the event.
