Advance registration required. Sign up for both sessions or only one if you prefer:
- The morning session with lunch included: walking along Mission Bay where the historic Rose Creek wetlands once existed, learning about projects to restore a portion of these wetlands, and visiting the last remaining segment of salt marsh in Mission Bay Park. (Limited to 40 participants)
- The afternoon session including van transportation: heading up stream with multiple stops along Rose Creek to see opportunities and challenges that connect this vital wildlife corridor to preserved lands that stretch from Mission Bay to the mountains and the desert beyond. (Limited to 14 participants).
Advanced registration required via the San Diego Bird Alliance registration form.
Afternoon Session Details
Each stop will be approximately 30 minutes and we will mostly be walking on paved paths or dirt paths that are flat. Tennis shoes are appropriate. This trip will involved participants being driven between note worthy access points along Rose Creek. It will require getting in and out of a 15 passenger van.
Access to restrooms will be limited as there are no restrooms located at our stopping points. However, we will make a pit stop at a fast food restaurant midway through the tour if anyone wants to use the restroom or grab something to eat.
Please note for the afternoon section, the van will pick you up at De Anza Cove after the morning session’s lunch break that ends by 1 PM. At the end of our exploration of Rose Creek, the van is happy to drop you off at the morning session starting point, Crown Point Shores.
We can also return participants to the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. As the van will be returning to San Diego International Airport at the end of the Field Trip, participants are welcome to get dropped off at the terminal of their choice.
