BCLT kicked off our 2015 Summer Membership Drive on July 1st, with a goal of raising $15,000 by September 30th. All funds raised toward this goal will go directly to managing BCLT conservation lands, as well as continuing our watershed stewardship and environmental education programs in Alpine and the Back Country.

Join / renew today with your annual household membership of $25 or more, and support BCLT in our mission to protect eastern San Diego's open-space landscapes for wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation, now and for future generations! 

We hope you'll join us in celebrating 25 years of conservation in San Diego's Back Country. We look forward to building a strong community of new members in support of 25 more years of saving San Diego's rural heritage, Native American cultural sites, and pristine wildlife habitat - from Wright's Field in Alpine, to La Posta and Potrero. 

Please consider a contribution of $25, $250, or $2,500 during our 25th anniversary summer membership drive by clicking the link below.

Photos from our graffiti removal project on Saturday, June 6th, during our annual volunteer event in celebration of National Trails Day. Wright's Field in Alpine is now looking just a little bit better, without the unsightly eyesore of spray paint covering rocks on the preserve. 

Thank you to all of our volunteers that came out to help with this project, and to those that donated time & equipment to make this project a success.

 

Results are in from our 2014-2015 Watershed Stewardship Program for the San Diego River in Alpine.... Cumulative tally of our measurable progress to-date:
40 properties cleared of invasive and highly flammable Arundo donax, totalling 4.5 acres of Arundo canopy cover, and 21,865 pounds of trash and hazardous debris removed from Alpine's creeks and streams leading into the San Diego River and the El Capitan Reservoir (City of San Diego potable water supply).

Thanks to all of our funders, agency partners, volunteers, and local non-profit groups for supporting this important program!
