Event Details

Radio Canyon has been badly neglected in the past and needs our help. We’re asking residents, schools, scouting troops, church groups and service clubs to join our clean-up efforts on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012. We’ll provide tools and plants for 300 volunteers to remove renegade non-native species and replant native vegetation. These efforts will begin to restore the canyon to its natural beauty, and make it available again for both residents and wildlife, including the threatened cactus wren and gnatcatcher.

Located at Market Street, just east of Euclid Avenue, a restored Radio Canyon will provide valuable open space and passive recreation for thousands of Encanto families.

For more information about us or this particular event, please get in touch with Groundwork by phone (619-543-0430), email, visit our Facebook, or follow us on Twitter @GroundworkSD
