ECO: Clear Brush & Remove Invasive Plants at Lake Murray

Improve a nature and recreation hotspot in San Diego. Lake Murray is a heavily used open space that provides opportunities for walking, biking, hiking, playing baseball, playing tennis, and more.

Volunteers will be clearing brush from obstructing park spaces, roadways, and parking spaces. They will also be removing invasive plants, such as foxtails, which will beautify the park and give the native plants more room to thrive.
