Help Clean-Up the Estuary!

Save to Favorites

Join us on February 1st from 9 AM - Noon for our monthly community river clean-up! 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

Park + Meet: Vacant dirt lot or along the Old Sea World Drive, just east of the W. Mission Bay Dr. bridge. Due to the Kayak Clean-Up, this area will be busy. You will most likely need to park far east of the bridge and walk to our meet spot!

Here are a few tips to help you prepare for the event:

• Check-In: 8:45 AM
• Attire: Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required
• All tools and supplies will be provided
• Items to Bring: Reusable water bottle, hat, other forms of sun protection
• Weather: Light rain will not cancel the event
• For safety reasons, no pets are allowed at this event.
• There are no restroom facilities at this location.
• Community Service hours can be verified for those who need them.
• All ages!
• If you would like to sign up as a group, please email us at volunteer@sandiegoriver.org, or have each member of your group sign up individually.

We want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors the Rincon Tribe and Think Blue San Diego for making this event possible and empowering the community to care for our local waterways. And thank you to Aqua Adventures for donating kayaks for the event.
