Join us this Saturday, July 23rd, for a Latino Conservation Week Clean-up!

Lewis Family Park?
1970 Treeline Drive
6:30 PM

Latino Conservation Week was created with the goal of supporting and getting our community into the outdoors and participating in activities to protect our natural resources. People of color are greatly unrepresented and excluded in the outdoors due to the lack of accessibility. Environmental conservation comes in so many forms. Help us promote this and other conservation efforts to show our support for permanently protecting our land, air and water.

What to bring
?Your loved ones - Tias y Tios
?Water flask
?Great playlist

*Cleaning supplies will be provided

?✏️We will be accepting dry goods and school supplies for TSF pantry/library!??

Thank you all for your support and hard work in caring for the land. RSVP here: Latinx conservation week | East Side cleanup (google.com)?

Our region suffers from the effects of climate change, pollution, and underfunded infrastructure. Stormwater pollution is San Diego's most persistent threat to our coastline and ecosystems. Join San Diego Coastkeeper to discuss where our water comes from, where it goes, what water equity is, and what community-driven solutions are available.
