SUMMARY:Team IMPACT: River Restoration
DESCRIPTION:We are currently in the invasive removal season with Team IMPACT\, and we invite you to join us in our efforts to remove non-native invasive species from the lower San Diego watershed\, adjacent to Fashion Valley Mall. Together\, we will work as a team to eradicate various invasive annual species\, including wild radish\, black mustard\, crown daisy\, and more. Additionally\, we will focus on our restoration area by watering and planting. As we always say\, “Many hands make light work!” Many of these invasive plant species are small annuals and require either weed whacking or hand pulling\, so expect to get dirty. \nAdditional Notes: \nPlease ensure you wear a hat and sunscreen\, as well as long sleeves\, long pants\, and sturdy closed-toed shoes for protection. \nAll necessary tools will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own gloves or safety glasses if preferred. \nDon’t forget to bring plenty of drinking water and snacks to keep energized throughout the day. \nPlease note: The meeting location is NEAR the address listed. The exact meeting location will be at the Fashion Valley Mall Tesla charging stations near Bloomingdale’s. \nIf you have any questions or concerns about this event please contact the site supervisor\, Kristofer Gonzalez at kristofer@sandiegoriver.org \nIf you sign up here\, please do NOT sign up on the San Diego River Park Foundations Event calendar!
