Volunteer with EDI
Land managers lack staff and resources to do much of the field work needed to maintain and restore conserved lands. EDI makes the connection between agencies and communities, providing technical expertise when needed, and creating opportunities for volunteers to meaningfully contribute to habitat restoration and support healthy ecosystems on our protected lands!
Volunteers who wish to participate in regular efforts to support regional refuges and reserves can join our group of wonderful Tuesday Volunteers that meets once per week to assist with a myriad of conservation efforts. Projects may include habitat restoration, seed collection, weeding, and clean up! The comradery that develops among our weekly volunteers is an extraordinary ancillary benefit of participating, as people get to know each other and develop friendships through a shared sense of purpose.
Tuesday
Volunteers
We host volunteer events year-round to support San Diego's public and private wild spaces. These events can include planting native plants or seeds, weeding, watering, and occasionally maintaining structures. Our volunteer events are always free, open to individuals, families, and groups, and support partner agencies as well as land-stewardship!

In partnership with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, we host Saturday events at the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge to restore and protect habitats and the wildlife that live on the refuges!
