**DUE TO RECENT RAIN, WE ARE RELOCATING THIS EVENT TO MISSION VALLEY PRESERVE, SEE DETAILS BELOW.**
Join us on Saturday, March 8th 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!
Location: Mission Valley Preserve South: A fifty-two acre natural preserve hidden in the heart of Mission Valley, this section of the San Diego River Park is under supervision of the Park & Recreation Department's Tri-Canyon Park Rangers.
