San Diego Canyonlands Restoration and Outreach
San Diego Canyonlands (SDCL) is a nonprofit based in the City Heights community of San Diego. Since 2008, we have played a major role in restoring San Diegos canyons and creeks to their natural habitat. Through stewardship volunteer events and our habitat restoration field crew, we are dedicated to promoting, protecting, and restoring the San Diego canyons and creeks in perpetuity.Outreach: Volunteer and outreach events started to return this fiscal year following the severe impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The outreach program continued to prioritize educational opportunities and working with partners to further SDCLs mission. The Outreach team focused on designing and funding two workforce development programs over the course of the year. The ECO (Environmental Career Opportunities) Initiative is a hands-on, paid, environmental job training program designed to support people transitioning into the workforce. The Canyon Connections Internship Program works with students from Hoover High School in City Heights providing paid internships to build social equity in environmental careers through place-based, student-led projects, education, and mentorship in urban canyons. The Outreach team also hosts weekly volunteer events, bi-monthly interpretive nature hikes, and other educational events.Restoration: SDCL continued to focus on building up the field teams during this fiscal year. There are now two crews that make up the field teams. The first crew is made up completely of members of the City Heights community and focuses on habitat restoration in canyons across the City of San Diego. The second crew conducts habitat-friendly brush management work in the canyons of the San Diego River Watershed. Combined, the whole team has provided enormous benefits to our canyons, including working in 22 open spaces, removing 150,000 pounds of invasives species and brush and 7,000 pounds of trash, and planting and caring for 2,500 native plants.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1M
