This is an ongoing volunteer event run by the City of San Diego Open Space Division Rangers every Thursday (except for Thursday, November 28th- we will be meeting on Friday, November 29th instead). This event was designed for volunteers to address some of the most pressing needs of our canyons. Locations and tasks will vary from week to week.
