Twice a year during River Blitz we survey the San Diego River. The survey includes documenting locations of all of the trash we can find. Then we take action!

Using the survey results, we develop a strategy to work toward a clean and trash free river.

The strategy includes large and small volunteer clean-ups. This is where you come in!

Join us for a fun, rewarding, and sometimes challenging volunteer event.

IMPACT: Since 2004, volunteers have removed more than 1.3 million lbs. of trash from the river. Thousands of people have joined others to make a difference.

We invite you to join us! You will meet others, learn about the river, and get a sense of accomplishment.

TAKE ACTION: All you need to do is show up and we will take care of the rest. Wear clothes that you can get dirty and closed-toe shoes. If you have a group of more than 20 please contact us in advance. If you are under 18, check the River Calendar for how to get a permission waiver signed. See you on the River!
