Description:

Help preserve our open space park lands by volunteering. Projects may include trash pickup, non-native plant removal, planting native plants (depending on time of year) and trail maintenance. The City of San Diego offers numerous volunteer opportunities to get involved with your local open space canyons, parklands, and parks. Volunteering in your local canyon is an excellent way to meet your neighbors and make a positive contribution close to home. (Formally known as University Heights Point Open Restoration.)
