Agency: City of San Diego Park & Recreation Department

Description:

Does the sight of Arundo make you aggravated? Do you want to sweep Scotch Broom out of San Diego County? San Diego is host to some of the most beautiful ecosystems in the world, but they are delicate and have to be preserved. Canyon Crusaders is a partnership between VSD and the City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department, and is a way for San Diegans to fight against invasive plant species and clean litter from our urban canyons and open spaces.

Help protect Tecolote Canyon and preserve this special space so that San Diegans can enjoy it for generations to come! (Formally known as Weed Warriors.)
