Help combat invasive species
They may be small, but Shot Hole Borer beetles are doing big damage in San Diego. These pests threaten our fragile river woodlands. They infest willows and sycamores, leaving dead, broken trunks in their wake. The Nat and the San Diego River Park Foundation are teaming up to monitor invasive Shot Hole Borer beetle presence in the San Diego River Watershed and we need your help.
What will you do?
You will set-up, check, and retrieve insect traps. We will provide training. The only experience needed, is comfort exploring the great outdoors-no background in science necessary.
Three day commitment required:
- Aug 25 from 9am-2pm, training and trap deployment
- Sep 22 mid-point tap check
- Oct 20 collect traps, transport to The NAT, and peak at what you found under a microscope

Registration ends August 23 at noon, or until capacity is reached, whichever comes first.
Together we can make a difference!
