Come work outdoors with like-minded members of the community to help remove thousands of pounds of trash in just three hours!
Each year, San Diego River Park Foundation volunteers remove more than 200,000 pounds of trash from our namesake waterway. Without our community, this trash would be left to pollute native animal habitats, parks and public spaces, leach contaminants into the water, and wash out into our ocean and beaches!
Location: Walker Preserve in Santee
