Escape the city and become a steward of the breathtaking land at Eagle Peak Ranch! Join us for a unique opportunity to explore this stunning open space preserve located in the headwaters of the San Diego River. As a volunteer, you’ll connect with fellow nature lovers, soak in the beauty of the landscape, and maybe even spot wildlife like deer or wild turkeys! Together, we’ll help care for this conserved land by clearing fallen trees and repairing recreational trails — vital work that keeps the preserve healthy and accessible for all to enjoy.
