About
A City Heights-based nonprofit working to restore San Diego's urban canyons and creeks since 2008. Runs a weekly Saturday canyon restoration program removing invasive plants and replanting native species across dozens of canyon sites throughout the city. One of the most hands-on native plant restoration organizations in San Diego — volunteers get their hands dirty every week and learn to identify local plants in real habitat. Great entry point for anyone interested in CA native plants and urban ecology.
