Habitat Restoration Volunteer Event at Gonzales Canyon
January 18, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Help SDRVC and our partners at San Diego Canyonlands create healthy habitats within the Gonzales Canyon Open Space Preserve in Del Mar Heights. Our new plantings are doing terrific, but they need a little extra TLC to really thrive! Volunteers are needed to water, pull weeds and mulch our planting area so that our plants will reach their potential.swG
