Border Bioblitz: Solidarity Hike con Latino Outdoors y Amiguis
About this Event
Join Latino Outdoors San Diego for a morning of community science and connection at the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park. As part of a unique Solidarity Border Bioblitz, we will be documenting the diverse flora and fauna of the Valley View Mesa Trail while our partners collect data simultaneously on the south side of the border.
