Looking for a unique volunteer opportunity? You can help improve habitat for wildlife at Mission Valley Preserve, a 52-acre wildlife preserve right in San Diego! Volunteers will help to remove non-native plant species, clearing the way allowing local species to reclaim their niche creating a healthy environment for the plants and animals that call our river home.

Volunteer tasks include chopping, hauling, digging, trimming, and more. All tools and supplies are provided.

This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about river ecology and witness a physical transformation of the landscape, which translates into improving our environment and the health of our River!

We’ll be mainly meeting in Mission Valley Preserve. The location will change depending on the event and scope of work to be done.

Training will be provided. Be sure to dress in clothes that can get a little dirty and wear closed shoes, no sandals or flip-flops allowed for safety reasons. Community service hours can be provided for this event.
