Get outside and enjoy nature with other passionate volunteers! We’ll be planting native species, removing invasives and litter, and more!

Join us for Shrub Club!
Invasive Species Removal
We need all the hands we can get to remove invasive species from a unique area of the Conservancy’s Keithley Preserve, known as Elfin Acres! Oak woodland and coastal sage scrub habitat need protection from invasive species that can overtake native plants.
Shrub Club is the Escondido Creek Conservancy’s monthly volunteer opportunity, usually on the 2nd Saturday from September – May. At Shrub Club, we spend time on land owned or managed by the Conservancy to improve habitat for native plants and animals. We plant natives, remove invasives, pick up litter, repair trails, and more!

What to Wear/Bring

long-sleeves
long-pants
good hiking shoes
sunscreen

a water bottle
a hat

Tools and gloves will be provided, but please bring your own tools if you prefer them! Volunteer work can be labor intensive but everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace. Participation counts toward community service hours. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or chaperone. Parking is limited so if you can carpool, please do!

2nd Annual Outdoor Education Elevated Fundraiser

A community festival with an abundance of nature-inspired activities, all to benefit enhancing and expanding access to outdoor education.

We are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Outdoor Education Elevated fundraiser on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the picturesque Mountain Meadow Preserve. This family-friendly festival offers guests the opportunity to connect with others who love wildlife while immersing in nature with an abundance of activities, such as guided hikes, outdoor yoga, native plant sales, nature-inspsired activities, and our featured guest speaker, Dr. Fernando Najera, DVM, PhD. This year, we received a generous matching gift of $50,000 for the event. If we can raise a minimum of $50,000 through sponsorships and ticket sales between now and October, we can double the impact to $100,000 and serve more youth and families who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience nature. Help us enhance and expand access to outdoor educational experiences for more communities in North San Diego County, from Escondido to Encinitas. We hope to see you there!

Sponsorship Opportunities Available!
Help champion the next generation of environmental stewards through your event sponsorship, which offers increased visibility, connections, and opportunities for you to make a difference. As a sponsor, you or your company will be recognized as a conscientious supporter of education and the environment in social and traditional media outlets along with other event marketing materials, reaching hundreds of North County community members in your target markets.
