The San Diego Audubon Society invites volunteers to help maintain a nesting site for endangered California Least Terns in Mission Bay on Saturday, April 11, from 9am to noon. The terns will be arriving soon and so we'll be working hard to clear the nesting site of invasive plants so that the birds can use the site for nesting and rearing their young. We'll also be setting up decoys and Least Tern "condos" that are used to attract the terns to this site. This work event will be held in partnership with Toyota and National Audubon, who have collaborated to launch a nationwide effort, the TogetherGreen program, to engage more people in making a difference for the environment.
Wear work clothes (long pants, long-sleeved shirt, hat, and sturdy shoes) and sunscreen. If you have them, bring work gloves and weeding tools or clippers. Snacks and water will be provided. If you have one, feel free to bring your own reusable water bottle to help us reduce paper cup waste.
As required by the San Diego Park and Recreation Department, for volunteers 17 and under, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver for each child before the event. Children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. If you have questions, please contact Shannon Dougherty at dougherty@sandiegoaudubon.org or 619-682-7210.
Directions to Mariner's Point: From Sea World Drive heading west, exit onto West Mission Bay Drive (going North). Continue over the bridge and then take a left on Gleason Road (across from the Bahia Hotel). Take an immediate left onto Mariners Way and proceed to the end of the road.
