LAKESIDE'S RIVER PARK CONSERVANCY
Our mission is to preserve and restore the biological integrity and beauty of the San Diego River while integrating recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities for youth, seniors, and families.
Conservation
Along the San Diego River, undeveloped land is rare. In urban San Diego, most of the land near the river has been sand mined and reclaimed for commercial use, leaving Lakeside with the best and most undisturbed riparian habitat. Our acquisition target areas include all river land from the base of the El Capitan Dam to the border with the City of Santee. We are focused on acquiring land east of Highway 67 where it crosses the San Diego River, to and through the El Monte Valley.
