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.

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!

We have received funding from The W. Garfield Weston Foundation and RBC to hold a Student Action Competition during spring 2020. This Student Action Competition will encourage Canadian students to conserve water, to encourage others to conserve water, to learn about where their drinking water comes from (only a little more than 50% of Canadians know where their drinking water comes from), teach other Canadians about the source of their drinking water, learn what could pollute their drinking water and teach others about this as well, and much more. The competition is open to all kindergarten to grade 12 schools across Canada. There will be one national grand prize valued at $3,000 for the top school in Canada in the kindergarten to grade eight category and one national grand prize valued at $3,000 for the top school in Canada in the grade nine to grade 12 category. Each national grand prize will include a water bottle filling station, a commemorative plaque, and possibly some reusable water bottles and/or water testing kits! There will also be a prize package for the top school in Saskatchewan. It is valued at $2,200 and includes a water bottle filling station and a commemorative plaque. (Note: If the top school(s) in Canada is/are located in Saskatchewan then the second or the third place school in Saskatchewan will win the prize package valued at $2,200.)

We are looking for judges for the Spring 2020 Student Action on Canadian Water Attitudes Competition. The judging can be done from your own home, or anywhere you have Internet access. We would prefer that judges reside in Canada but would consider judges from other areas as well. This would require approximately two hours of your time and would take place in the first half of May.
