On March 15, Solana Beach Eco Club successfully completed an important project at San Dieguito County Park. About a year ago, Head Park Ranger Alejandro Santos approached the club with a request to transform a small, unused area of the park into a native pollinator garden. The club embraced the idea enthusiastically and began planning for a fall planting.
Members of our club recently traveled to Panama to see first-hand the coral restoration work being done by the Rotary Reef Project in Bocas Del Toro, Panama. From snorkeling on the Rotary Reef, to visting the Coral Restoration Center, planting trees in the forest, and dental clinic for remote village children… supporting the Rotary Reef project supports an entire community. Learn more and see how you, too, can create lasting impact!
Our field trip to Rose Creek took place on an incredibly beautiful, warm, sunny winter morning – the kind of day that makes the rest of America a little jealous. We were accompanied by pedestrians and bikers going by, kayakers in the water, amazing birds flying overhead. The perfect conditions only emphasized the phenomenal beauty of Rose Creek and the need to protect it. This tour was well timed for other reasons. We had just had speakers Karin Zirk (Friends of Rose Creek in December) and Andrew Meyer (ReWild Mission Bay/ San Diego Bird Alliance in January) visit and talk to our club about the past, present and future of this very important area. There are also an extraordinary variety of birds migrating through the area this time of year as part of the Pacific Flyway. Evidently, the birds enjoy our weather too.
