Lagoon Cleanup Along Carmel Valley Road Update:

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the "Light at the end of the tunnel" volunteer days. The dates we have set are the 1st and 3rd Saturdays starting October 3rd from 9 AM - noon. The goal is to have at least 20 people each of these days to help pull and fill the dumpster with carpobrotusedulis (ice-plant). As you can imagine the five of us are getting worn out and could really use your help.

Maintaining the areas we have planted is part of the long-term project plan. To make this happen we are also asking for volunteers to remove non-native plants the first Saturday of each month 9am -10am. 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, TP 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. We will place an "Adopted by: sign on your block. Please RSVP by email  to Carol for your desired block. weeder-staff@torreypine.org

The blocks available are:

1.    White Gate to Via Aprilla             (phase 1 to Roberto's)

2.    Via Aprilla to Area closed sign     (Roberto's to Area closed sign)

3.    Area closed sign to Via Borgia

4.    Via Borgia to Via Cortina

5.    Via Cortina to Via Donada
