RiverBlitz - Hike & Collect Data!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: The San Diego River Park Foundation

RiverBlitz

Calling all volunteers with an interest in our River and a passion for the environment! Once a year, volunteer teams use a smart phone app to document trash and storm water debris the San Diego River. This point-in-time data allows us to measure the health of the riparian ecosystem and plan our cleanup strategies for the next year.

This is a wonderful hands-on opportunity and a great way to make a difference for the future of the river and surrounding area.

Volunteers should be comfortable with hiking short distances, including going up and down embankments and ducking around and under vegetation.
