"Waterfall Rehabilitation Project"
This project focuses on the continuing care for our habitat restoration site at the Waterfall in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, keying in on native prairie and pollinator species. We’ll be watering installed plants through establishment, removing invasive species and expanding the site little by little, with the intention of improving the area’s biodiversity, ecological health and resilience. Park at the trailhead of your choice and enjoy a morning hike to meet Ranger Haley and Senior Ranger Gina at the project site.
