Lagoon Cleanup Along Carmel Valley Road Update:

Hello everyone!

Join our team the first Saturday of each month, anytime between 9am and noon. Weeding is an easy way to earn docent or student community service volunteer hours.

Maintaining the areas we have planted is part of the long-term project plan.  Carmel Valley Road is sectioned  by street name, each block requires 4- 6 people to weed once a month. The people weeding on your block could be neighbors, coworkers, friends, Torrey Pines Association, a business, book club, garden club, Rotary Club, Torrey Pines Docents, etc.

A staff person will work with everyone to point out which weeds to remove and be available to answer questions.

This is an easy way to help out the Lagoon at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Please RSVP to volunteers@torreypine.org or DarrenSmith@parks.ca.gov or use the signup sheet posted in the docent library.

These are the blocks and the groups or individuals in charge:

1.    White Gate to Via Aprilla               Adopted by Del Mar/Solana Beach Rotary Club
