Mangrove Removal Work Party in the Northern Wildlife Preserve

Saturday, Jan. 12^th 1-4pm

The San Diego Audubon Society and Aquatic Adventures invite you to help gather important scientific data on the Mangrove plants and remove this invasive species to restore this rare coastal salt marsh to benefit the endangered Light-Footed Clapper Rail and Belding Savannah Sparrow. This is a great way to meet your fellow community members and contribute to the betterment of the Mission Bay environment.

Remember to wear long pants, old clothes, and sturdy water-proof shoes. Water, snacks, gloves and tools will be provided.

As required by the San Diego City Parks Department, for volunteers 17 and under, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver for each child at the start of the event. Children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

The project site can be accessed via Campland at 2211 Pacific Beach Dr. Parking is available at the end of Pacific Beach Drive just outside the main entrance. Proceed through the Campland entrance, take your 2^nd right on Great Blue Heron Run and follow signs to Riding Hood Wood Park on the left.

RSVP for this event at (619) 682-7210 or Dougherty@sandiegoaudubon.org

Easy one to two hours project - great for children of all ages. However, due to liability concerns, all minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the event. Perfect for community service credit hours.

Minors need to have their parents complete a liability waiver. We'll have copies at the event, or download and complete it in advance by completing the waiver.

Please wear sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, and a hat. Volunteers should bring water and heavy-duty work or gardening gloves. More information Karin Zirk 858-405-7503 or kzirk@earthlink.net
