Join the Friends of Rose Creek, I Love A Clean San Diego, and San Diego Coastkeeper from 8:30 AM until noon for Coastal Cleanup Day. This year Rose Creek is going to be the media site for all of San Diego County so we have lots of surprises in store for you. Pizza, Ice Cream and much more. We’ll need you to arrive at 8:30 AM as it will take you 10 minutes to get to the staging area from the parking lot and/or bus stop.  Take bus #30 to Mission Bay High School and follow the signs or park in the student parking lot at Grand Avenue and Lee Street.

I Love A Clean San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper will be on hand to share with print and TV media the critical work we are doing and gain exposure for the plight of Rose Creek. All volunteers will receive a free ticket to ride the roller coaster in Belmont Park.

To register, click here.

If you don’t register ahead of time, please show up at 8:30 AM the day of the event. Dress sharp as you may end up as the face of Coastal Cleanup Day on the news.

Please wear close-toed shoes, long pants and adults should wear long sleeves. Bring your own heavy duty work gloves. If you have a small wagon, bring it along as you will need it to lug the often heavy stuff you pick up for a quarter mile or more.   Bring a reusable water bottle with you if at all possible.

More Info TBA so check back periodically.

The Friends of Rose Creek (Us) do not support the Regents Road Bridge. Rose Canyon is part of San Diego MSCP set aside to preserve critical habitats. For a complete blow by blow of the needs, alternatives and reasons, visit the Rose Canyon website. Tomorrow the San Diego City Council will be asked to vote on hiring more outside consultants to begin the very expensive proposition of doing a new EIR to comply with government regulations. Please send an email today expressing your opposition to wasting anymore tax payer funds on this project.

To easily send an email to all City Council members, click here.

Our canyons and creeks are places for San Diegans to enjoy nature, not transportation corridors.
