Join us Earth Day weekend, April 21st - 23rd to celebrate community, environmental stewardship, and connection to our namesake waterway with a FREE community mural opportunity in San Diego River's 52-acre hidden gem, Mission Valley Preserve. This multi-day event will be held along the San Diego River Bikeway in Cottonwood Grove, just west of the Sefton Park Baseball Fields. The mural will be led by San Diego River Park Foundation staff and volunteers, and the mural will be designed by local artist Helen T Kim. Activities will include mural prepping, painting, as well as light gardening of the surrounding Cottonwood Grove area before and after the painting. We will also offer educational tours of the San Diego River at this time.
We are looking for local artists, gardeners, volunteer leaders, families, friends, coworkers, clubs, classes, groups, and YOU help us celebrate the San Diego River with restoration of the Cottonwood Grove area and a new community mural! This event will be free but donations towards the San Diego River Park Foundation will be accepted. Come for a few hours or spend the entire day with us!
