Join the Subaru/Leave No Trace Team and US Forest Staff and partners for a fun volunteer day. Volunteers will work on projects to address impacts to the San Diego River Gorge. Work will include wildflower seed planting, trail maintenance, and a trash/litter cleanup. Volunteers will be introduced to Leave No Trace and the Hot Spot program, receive a rundown on the service project and safety briefing, and learn more about how to protect the San Diego River Gorge and its popular trails and waterfalls. Volunteers will be assigned to different tasks on the day of the project based on the number and interests of volunteers.
