Join us for a volunteer work party to help prepare for LYWD in Mission Bay!

Various activities will be taking place for this event:

1.Beth Besom will lead a training for pre-determined volunteers who will be in charge of making sure that LYWD visitors have the necessary materials and skill to cover the basket frames that the UCSD NRS team will have created previously by Beth and UCSD interns. These volunteers will meet at the dirt lot at Crown Point Park North 32.789294, -117.232042

2. Cristina Santa Maria from SDAS will be training Conservation Assistants and Love Your Wetlands Day pre-determined volunteers for LYWD. We will meet at the dirt lot adjacent to Kendall-Frost Marsh 32.796182, -117.229487

3. Walk-in volunteers may help by removing invasive ice-plant to increase the capacity for Love Your Wetlands Day. Registration is not required for this portion, just show up prepared with close-toed shoes, sun protection and water. Tools and gloves will be available to use. We will meet at the dirt lot adjacent to Kendall-Frost Marsh 32.796182, -117.229487

General Information about Wander the Wetlands:

Nature lovers, bird enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning more about the habitat existing in the heart of our city are welcome! Learn about the Ridgway's Rails at Kendall-Frost Marsh. Take in the extraordinary sights found only in protected habitats like this one.

While the new research and educational center is under construction at Kendall-Frost Marsh, we will be meeting in alternate locations depending on the activity. Join us on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month to explore the hidden life of the marsh through bird watching, fish seining or conservation work parties.
