Join us for a fundraising event to benefit the Tijuana Estuary Foundation, the nonprofit partner to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. At the southwestern edge of the United States, where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean, lies one of Southern California's last remaining coastal wetlands. Here, more than 2,000 acres of salt marshes, sand dunes, coastal habitats, and open space provide a remarkable refuge for wildlife-and for people seeking a deeper connection with the natural world. Tonight we celebrate the people who have devoted their lives to protecting one of California’s greatest natural treasures, and we invite you to become part of that story.
