When: Saturday, Feb 14th 10am - 1pm
Where: Northern Wildlife Preserve, Mission Bay
Why: We are working to restore this rare coastal salt marsh to benefit the endangered Light-Footed Clapper Rail and Belding’s Savannah Sparrow, just two of the many bird species that depend on this important wetland. We'll be clearing the nesting site of invasive plants so the terns can use the site for nesting and rearing their young.
Directions: Meet in the front of TP for rides at 9:15 AM.
For drivers: The project site can be accessed via Campland at 2211 Pacific Beach Dr. Parking is available at the end of Pacific Beach Drive just outside the main entrance. Proceed by foot through the Campland entrance, take your 2nd right on Great Blue Heron Run and follow signs to Riding Hood Wood Park on the left.
ATTENTION! FOR KEY CLUBBERS AGES 13-17: As required by the San Diego Park and Recreation Department, for volunteers 17 and under, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver for each child before the event.
