Join us to help remove non-native invasive plant species from the lower San Diego River watershed! Join our Invasive Management, Plant Assessment, and Conservation Team (IMPACT) to help us remove the old irrigation pipes from both sides of the stream. After several years of irrigation, it’s time to leave the habitat free of pipes. This is a great opportunity for those looking to try fieldwork, make a difference, and explore the beautiful riparian habitat! As we say: 'many hands make light work!'.
Our Invasive Management, Plant Assessment and Conservation Team welcomes individuals from all walks of life. Retired folks can use their time and experience to contribute to the environment, while students seeking hands-on experience in habitat restoration can gain valuable knowledge and skills. Families are also encouraged to participate, as our activities are a great way to bond and instill a sense of stewardship for the natural world in children. If you are passionate about making a difference and want to help restore the San Diego River, you would be an ideal fit for our team
What to Expect: You’ll be working outdoors in a team to safely remove old irrigation pipes, contributing to the restoration of the riparian habitat while enjoying a scenic and peaceful environment.
