Join BCLT and our community partners as we continue our Alpine Watershed Stewardship Program in the San Diego River watershed during Spring 2014!

We'll be kicking off our first in a series of hands-on workshops on Saturday, March 8, with a Stream Restoration Demonstration Project in partnership with Endangered Habitats Conservancy at their beautiful conservation property along Alpine Creek.  All are welcome!   

Back for a third year in 2014, these casual docent-guided walks are free, family-friendly events held every month at BCLT's Wright's Field Preserve in Alpine.
Come out and join us on the 1st Saturday of every month, as we explore different natural history and cultural topics at this beautiful 230-acre open-space preserve.

Parking is at Joan MacQueen Middle School - 2001 Tavern Rd in Alpine.  Wear sturdy walking shoes. Sunscreen, water, and hat are recommended.

Join BCLT for our first volunteer event of 2014!  Help restore Alpine's watershed by planting native trees and shrubs, such as willow, cottonwoods, and sycamores, along this once-beautiful stretch of creek. Located below the confluence of Alpine, Chocolate, and Deer Creeks, this open-space riparian habitat is an important corridor for wildlife movement through Alpine and Harbison Canyon to Peutz Valley and El Capitan Reservoir.  

As part of our Watershed Stewardship Program in Alpine, Back Country Land Trust has cleared over one-quarter of an acre of flammable, non-native Arundo from this property at the "bottom" of Alpine's watershed.  Now we're ready to restore this creek-side habitat to it's former natural beauty!  

Come lend a hand and help keep Alpine's watershed clean & green!  

Saturday, February 1st: 10am-12noon
288 Peutz Valley Road - Parking available at Alpine Blvd & Peutz Valley Rd

Event Update: In two hours, our small team of three planted 30 native trees and 400 cuttings along this stretch of creek!  We also hauled away two truckloads of trash, including 6 tires, 4 tire sidewalls, a toilet, and a stolen ATM (which was turned in to police for evidence).  Special thanks to Endangered Habitats Conservancy for partnering with us on this imporant wildlife and habitat enhancement project.
