The San Diego River Park Foundation (SDRPF) reached out to our club for help recruiting volunteers for a project at Grant Park, their soon to be nature education center in Mission Valley. They need help moving large rocks to create a simulated "dry river bed/watershed" at the park that will also serve as drainage and irrigation help when it rains.
The rocks are between baseball and large melon sized (or a foot). They have been using wheelbarrows, hands and have a dolly for the few largest rocks. The photo to the right is an example of what they are trying to create.
To the left is is a picture of the actual area we will be working. It will need some digging for shaping and slope, before the rocks are moved into it. Volunteers can join in or leave whenever they need anytime between 8:00am - 12:00pm. This is going to be a great park to enjoy when it's completed and will be even more enjoyable knowing we were a part of it.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare for the event:
Attire: Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required
Other Items to Bring: Reusable water bottle, hat, other forms of sun protection
Weather: Light rain will not cancel the event
All ages are welcome!
