Volunteer Stewardship : Restore Olivia Canyon Habitat

ECO:
Stewardship Saturday in Olivia Canyon

Join Olivia Canyon neighbors, community volunteers, and San Diego Canyonlands for this stewardship event in the canyon as part of their restoration efforts. Help them create a healthy habitat for wildlife and a safe place for recreation in the City Heights community of San Diego.

Volunteers will care for native plants, remove invasive plants, and remove trash and debris from restoration areas. We want to ensure that our canyons in San Diego will remain a place where people and wildlife are healthy and safe.

Signing Up: Please sign up on San Diego Canyonlands' website in addition to signing up on Hands On San Diego. Refer to our Instagram page @sdcanyonlands for any changes or location updates.

Attire: Wear sturdy shoes or boots (closed‑toe shoes required), comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty (long pants), and a hat for sun protection.

Bring: Water bottle and sunscreen. Tools and gloves are provided.

Waiver: Volunteers under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a youth waiver to participate.

Physical Requirements: These events are flexible, but we ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking short distances, bending, and physically removing weeds with hands and tools.

Safety: San Diego Canyonlands kindly asks volunteers to wear a mask if social distancing from others outside your social pod cannot be maintained.

Weather: Events rarely cancel due to weather. If necessary, the event will be canceled on the morning of the project.

Note: There are no bathrooms on site. Feel free to contact San Diego Canyonlands at volunteer with any questions before the event.

San Diego Canyonlands' mission is to promote, protect and restore the natural habitats in San Diego County's canyons and creeks. They do this by fostering education and ongoing community involvement in stewardship and advocacy, and by collaborating with other organizations.
