Join our Preserve Steward's Day at Bathtub Creek! Come meet fellow nature-loving friends and care for beautiful Eagle Peak Preserve, one of the preserves we acquired for land conservation of the headwaters of the San Diego River. Together, we will maintain trails, care for oak trees, remove invasive non-native plants, tend to native plants, repairs, fences, install irrigation, maintain trails, and more! Take the opportunity to visit our studding preserve and come see what we can accomplish together!
All Preserve Stewards events take place from 8:00am - Noon on San Diego River Park Foundation preserves near Julian or Descanso, approximately a 1.5-hour drive from downtown San Diego.
In the spirit of being natural stewards, we encourage you volunteers to carpool. Volunteers can spend even more time with like-minded people who are all coming in the interest of environmental conservation, while reducing vehicle emissions. However, carpooling will not be organized by the San Diego River Park Foundation and arrangements must be made between volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for the decisions they make when carpooling, including choices regarding safety. The San Diego River Park Foundation is not liable for any risks associated with carpooling.
Location: Meet at Eagle Peak Ranch in Julian, 5030 Eagle Peak Rd., approximately a 1.5 hour drive from downtown San Diego. Afterwards we will carpool to Bathtub Creek Preserve, roughly 15 minutes further down Eagle Peak Road. Here is a link to a google doc with more instructions: Eagle Peak Ranch
