Looking for a volunteer opportunity that allows you to support a healthy river while interacting with a group of like-minded people? Come out with our core volunteer team to assist with River Clean-Ups! If you don't mind getting dirty and doing some trail blazing then this may be the perfect fit for you. Each year, San Diego River Park Foundation volunteers remove more than 200,000 pounds of trash from our River. Without our amazing volunteers, this trash would be left to pollute native animal habitats, create unsightly piles in our parks and public spaces, leach contaminants into the water, and could be washed out into our ocean and beaches! This month's clean-up is uniquely focused on cleaning up from the previous day's festivities. Unfortunately, 4th of July celebrations can leave behind large amounts of trash and litter. Come help us clean it up! This event is family friendly (all ages), and a great, impactful way to teach your kids the importance of picking up after themselves while out in nature.
