Join us to get outside, immerse yourself in nature, and make a positive impact for the San Diego River! Join a community of like-minded volunteers working to restore the San Diego River Estuary - a highly sensitive habitat that is home to several endangered species. By removing invasive plants, you’ll directly support the return of native pollinators and wildlife, prevent erosion, improve water quality, and protect endangered species, like the California Least Tern. Together, we will create a healthier, more accessible natural space for the entire community to enjoy. This is a huge effort and a great opportunity for those looking to try out field work, connect with fellow nature lovers, make a meaningful difference for a critical and fragile ecosystem, and explore the beautiful estuary habitat! We’d love to see you there! At the same time, the education team will also be promoting our Outdoor Education Field Trip programs. We offer free, nature-focused STEM field trips that encourage students to explore and learn about the significance of the San Diego River through hands-on activities, experiments, and games. This event will showcase the variety of experiences we provide, which includes nature-based arts and crafts, as well as games designed to teach participants about local birds, pollinators, aquatic invertebrates, and more!

If you care about the environment and don't mind getting a little dirty, then this may be the perfect fit for you! Join us on August 9 from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. for a riverbed clean-up in the Mission Valley Preserve. The River Rescue Team mobilizes to target trash for removal every Saturday, and for this date, we are looking for a few extra hands (no experience necessary!) to remove trash and debris from this sensitive habitat. We invite you to join us for just this date, but if you have a good time, ask us for more information about coming out for future River Rescue clean-up events! Each year, San Diego River Park Foundation volunteers remove more than 200,000 pounds of trash from our namesake waterway. Without our amazing volunteers, this trash would be left to pollute native animal habitats, parks and public spaces, leach contaminants into the water, and wash out into our ocean and beaches!

The setting is London during the 1930s, where Jessica Medlicott, once a great stage actress who is now a wealthy widow, is being sued for “breach of promise” by her ex-fiancé, a handsome, much younger Naval officer. Desperate to protect what is left of her Depression Era-ravaged estate, she turns to highly-respected barrister Sir Arthur Granville-Jones to defend her in court, apparently not remembering that he was a former lover. Sparks fly when Sir Arthur agrees to take Jessica’s case, despite her insistence that they have never met, as she is the only woman the confirmed old bachelor has ever loved.
