Please join us on Saturday, July 28th from 9:00am to 12:00noon. Over 95% of these habitat areas are now gone due to development. Home to many endangered birds, fish and mammals this area needs your help to remain as a viable habitat area. An educational walking tour will be included. All are welcome even if you can’t stay to help us with the project. Activities to include invasive plant removal, native plant rescue, trail maintenance and litter removal. Help us make a difference for the wildlife that can only survive here and nowhere else. All tools and supplies are provided. Community service hours can be verified for those that need them. Be sure to dress in clothes that can get a little dirty and wear closed shoes, no sandals or flip-flops allowed for safety reasons.

Join the San Diego River Park Foundation’s Clean and Green Team as we continue our mission to cleanup and restore the beautiful and historic San Diego River. Our river is one of the more polluted waterways in the country but with your help we can work to reverse years of littering and neglect and give the native plants and animals a trash free habitat in which to live. River cleanups are a fun, challenging and important activity to help give back to our environment. All tools and supplies are provided. The area we will focus on is quite beautiful for the most part but does have issues with trash and illegal dumping. For some reason some people think that it is ok to trash our wildlife preserves, but we will continue to cleanup this important area until it is trash free. Community service hours can be verified for those that need them. Be sure to dress in clothes that can get a little dirty and wear closed shoes, no sandals or flip-flops allowed for safety reasons. Volunteers will meet at the west side of Sefton Field located off of Hotel Circle Place. For more info call 619.297.7380 or email richard@sandiegoriver.org |

Project Description
Join our team in identifying non-native plant species that are negatively affecting our National Parks. Reduce the threat of non-native invasive plants, protect rare species and restore the biological and cultural integrity to Park Service lands. Invasive plant removal requires walking on uneven and rocky terrain, and using hand tools (hand-saws, bow-saws, loppers, or hand-clippers) to cut invasive plants. Additional physical demands include the use of shovels and trowels while planting native plants, hauling excess debris, and standing for prolonged periods. Please wear working clothing (long sleeve and boots, etc.), we will provide tools and gloves but feel free to bring your own. Date - every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month Time - 9:30am till 11:45pm.
Directions
Arlington House is located inside Arlington National Cemetery. From Washington DC you can drive to the cemetery by crossing the Memorial Bridge. In Virginia access to the cemetery is from the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
