Description

We are in the invasive removal season at Fashion Valley with team IMPACT. Please join us to help remove non-native invasive species from the lower San Diego watershed adjacent to the Fashion Valley Mall. We will work as a team to remove a variety of invasive plant species including giant reed (Arundo donax), Brazilian pepper, castor bean, eucalyptus, Mexican fan palm, and canary island date palm. This is a huge effort and any support you can provide is much appreciated. Many hands make light work!

Team IMPACT is sponsored by Embers Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit like us who share the common goal of helping surrounding communities by helping create a buffer of fire-resistant native habitat, protecting homes and businesses and revitalizing watersheds. Find out more information here: https://www.embersfoundation.org/

What to expect: Many of these invasive plant species are large trees and require both cutting and hauling of big limbs. We will get dirty. Please wear a hat and sunscreen, long sleeves, long pants and sturdy close-toed shoes. All tools will be provided. If you prefer your own gloves or safety glasses please bring them. Please bring plenty of drinking water and snacks.

Please note: The meeting location is NEAR the address listed. Exact meeting location will be emailed to you upon sign-up.
