Clean Canyons for a Clean Coast

Our cleanups don't stop at the shore, I Love A Clean San Diego reaches the inland communities as well. Remember 80% of marine debris comes from inland sources, so these inland cleanups are especially important! ILACSD will be partnering with the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, Open Space Division to provide a facelift for Chollas Creek. Contact Jemma De Leon at jdeleon@cleansd.org or 619-704-2778 if you are interested in participating or have any event questions.

Kids' Ocean Day Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup

I Love A Clean San Diego is hosting its 18th annual Kid’s Ocean Day Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup. Funded by the California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail License Plates, this state-wide program educates elementary-school children on the importance of marine conservation. At the event, students will engage in a beach cleanup and create an aerial art formation that will be photographed from a helicopter above. ILACSD is seeking 75+ adult volunteers to help set-up and assist the approximately 800-1000 children expected to attend this exciting and unique event. If you or your group is interested in helping, please contact Jemma De Leon at jdeleon@cleansd.org or 619-704-2778.

Tijuana River Valley Cleanup

Join ILACSD as we do our first of a series of cleanups in the Tijuana River Valley. This area could use some much needed attention from our volunteers since trash is regularly deposited with the river water. For more information, contact Jemma De Leon at jdeleon@cleansd.org or 619-704-2778.
