Join us for our BIGGEST RIVER CLEANUP OF THE YEAR!

October is Clean River Month, and what better time to remove every piece of trash from our Discovery Center site at Qualcomm Way to the Ocean… that’s 7 miles of Clean River!

YOU and over 300 volunteers will work together in one huge community event to create a trash free River (along accessible sites) in Mission Valley! Volunteers work will help to beautify open spaces along the River and care for native habitat, keeping the area clean and safe for visitors and the native animal species that call our River home.

All ages welcome! All tools and supplies are provided. Community service hours can be verified for those that need them. Be sure to dress in clothes that can get a little dirty and wear closed shoes, no sandals or flip-flops allowed for safety reasons.

RSVP required: email volunteer@sandiegoriver.org or call (619) 297-7380.
**You will need to RSVP in order to receive the exact meeting location and directions to the event.**

The Grand River is the longest river in Michigan, spanning 252 miles and the watershed covers nearly 3,000 square miles of land from just west of Lansing to Lake Michigan. We are creating an Adopt-a-Drain program for individuals and groups to keep drains free of leaves and debris, and neighbors in helping to protect the environment, manage stormwater, and minimize flooding.

Work on this project can be done from anywhere, we are a virtual organization. Learn more about the project from our Github Repo.

We are looking for people to assist in user testing, and skills in Ruby and/or GIS.

This free celebration, attracting at least 250 visitors, features different aspects of wildlife each year. Previous themes include crepuscular and nocturnal forest creatures, and currently threatened species or those which have overcome endangered status. Families are first are greeted by volunteer musicians in our Outdoor Classroom, where local libraries facilitate seasonal crafts and activities. The large group is then divided into smaller ones for visiting the “animals,” who are stationed along our many trails. Volunteers lead groups to each station, where an “animal” provides an interactive dialogue about forest life. (“Animals” are costumed volunteers wearing detailed, hand-crafted disguises, complete with faux fur, feathers, and props for an accurate representation of each critter.) After twelve minutes, an air-horn blasts signals for the group to rotate. After every group has cycled through each station, everyone returns to the Outdoor Classroom for donuts and cider. In contrast to other autumn activities, “Animals of Halloween” is not spooky; the family-friendly program is designed to educate and entertain visitors of all ages.

Come out for a good scary time! This is the time to dress up and scare your friends and strangers alike. We will be meeting at the Pool for registration at 1:00 pm. The cost is $15.00 per person and 2 canned goods, and the money raised goes to help fund lifeguard training for Panther Creek Pool's lifeguards while the food goes to Central Services. Our pool is the only public pool in Hamblen County and we have to have certified guards, this money helps us to train our guards as well as buy items that we need that the state cannot purchase for us. This will be a 2 mile walk, not a run. Zombies are not fast!
