Enjoy a feel-good Saturday morning caring for beautiful Mission Valley Preserve, a 52-acre wildlife preserve with precious riparian habitat and an abundance of biodiversity right in the middle of our city! Help remove trash from the riverbed and prevent it from polluting native animal habitats, leaching contaminants into the water, and washing into our ocean and beaches! Each year, SDRPF volunteers remove over 200,000 lbs. of trash from the riverbed and you can be part of this momentous impact for the river!
Expect good vibes, fresh air, and an awesome crew of like-minded changemakers. Come for the cause, stay for the community-and leave knowing you made a real difference for the San Diego River!
Ages 13+ | Join us and make a tangible difference!
Park + Meet: Mission Valley YMCA west parking lot, 5505 Friars Rd, San Diego, CA 92110. Meet in the southwest corner of the western-most parking lot.
